Feliz Cumpleaños, Baby Girl

Today is little D’s first birthday. It’s also a national holiday (Columbus Day) in Spain.

Right now D is snoozing in my arms while I type… a special treat since I’m usually not great at sitting still, but I’ve been feeling extra sentimental the past couple of days. I just cannot believe that my little girl is officially not a baby anymore. Somehow hearing her first words take shape, seeing her first independent steps, and being on the receiving end of the beginnings of toddler determination haven’t brought it home quite as clearly as this milestone.

We had a birthday celebration with friends and family before we left home, and we’ll eat a cake this evening. Other than that, we’ll play it by ear, and I’m sure that it will be a memorable day.
