Our sweet little baby girl is one. PREPOSTEROUS! Seriously, how could this be? I just gave birth to her like, two months ago or something. But they tell me that these things called "calendars" are pretty reliable so I guess it's true. Just thinking about it is making me cry because I will miss baby Willa so much. Parenthood is nothing if not incessant loss. All the changes are so welcome and so wonderful but they come with a dear price. Still, I can't wait for the next year and the next and the next. Happy Birthday, darling Willa. A hundred happy returns.
Happy birthday, Willa! I, too, can't believe how quickly the time has gone. Wasn't it last week you did the hottest dance evah at Blogher, gloriously pregnant? (Yeah, I know--this was one Blogher ago. But that was the one I actually attended).
Hope you and Willa and your family had a wonderful day!

Your comment about "missing baby Willa" was a timely echo to my OWN feelings, now that our 15-month old neither looks nor acts much like a baby. In fact, just the other day at the park she pointed to someone either her own age or perhaps a little younger, and said "Baby!" Funny stuff.

Ah, yes, I know the feeling. With our little one (4 mos) I find myself missing the older one as a baby, as I pull out clothes I remember him wearing. And then the 4-month-old outgrows them, and I'm even more sad that my time as mother of a newborn has passed. (I don't expect we'll have any more kids.) Enjoy every moment, I guess ;-) *Sigh*
