Happy 18 Month Birthday, to the sweetest, funniest, most radiant little girl I've ever known; to my best friend. And let me just say, I hope that we can spend every half birthday sitting together on the kitchen floor eating vanilla ice cream straight from the container, just as we did today.

that there have been a few mommy moments that I'm not all that proud to admit? Well, tonight, I took my one-day-shy-of-18-months-old-kid and wrapped her up in her old hospital receiving blanket, and rocked her in my arms like a newborn, singing "Ahhhhhh. Ahhhhh. Ahhhhhhh baby."
