Happy Birthday, baby B!

When CFB* turned one, we took his picture immediately upon waking. It was hysterical. We've done it every year since.

Today was BP's turn. She is celebrating one year on this Earth today.


And although you can't see all of BP's beautiful face in this picture, it does capture her essence. Annoyed that the flash is violently exploding in her face, annoyed that she was woken up before she was ready (as soon as E comes out of his room, the whole house is AWAKE!) and annoyed that she is still sick, but smiling nonetheless. BP is always smiling. You know, when she's not screaming or crying or biting. But usually, usually she's smiling. She is sunshine and rainbows and ice cream with a touch of temper. Which is just about perfect, isn't it?


*The nickname "CFB" is applying less and less. We've been doing a lot of work to ensure that CFB's sensory needs are being met and I've noticed a huge difference in him. So I think that until CFB does something to warrant a new moniker, I'm going to go back to calling him E. BP however, continues to be a Baby Pterodactyl, so she gets to keep the nickname. Along with all the other things E calls her, which is a post for another day.
