A million years ago, there was a newborn in this house. And life was good. Then, they grew up. Thankfully, for people like me who love the smell and the squishy goodness of babies but love even more to sleep and eat a hot meal without interruption, there are awesome moms out there who are kind enough to let me snuggle with theirs every now and then.

We even had a little fun with her big sister. And anybody who knows me, knows I love those big sisters!

I’m already looking forward to sweet Baby L’s 6 month pics!

I want to be two again.

I want to wear ponytails

and have people say I’m cute

And spend the day looking for butterflies.

There once was a boy who was two

He liked to run, jump and play peek-a-boo

But when he turned three

He was sweet as could be

and now he says “How do you do?”

We had a tea party until we ran out of lemon cookies. Then we tried to play golf, but there was too much snow. But when it’s your birthday you don’t need lemon cookies or golf to have fun. Thanks for letting me come play!

Birthdays
by Robert William Service

Let us have birthdays every day,
(I had the thought while I was shaving)
Because a birthday should be gay,
And full of grace and good behaving.
We can’t have cakes and candles bright,
And presents are beyond our giving,
But let us cherish with delight
The birthday way of lovely living.
