The Bookish Girl

A Birth and a day

DSCF7627

I am now 31 years old and a mom. What a strange year it has been. I am, by far, the happiest I have ever been. Motherhood suits me well, if I do say so myself.

Laura has left some information about the sweater pattern and yarn she used in the comments of the previous post. Sophia wore her sweater *again* today. Look how grumpy she is about it!

There have been a few requests for pictures – who am I to deny the masses? (ps – Sophia’s photo album can be viewed here).

    Happy Birthday!

    I spent my first birthday as a Mom with Bridget in the Pediatric unit at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. (Pneumonia and a 105 degree fever… I was a little too worried to care how old I was turning…) Bridget was released late in the evening- and my next door neighbors left a bakery cake and a vase of flowers at the door. (It was a much nicer day than it sounds.)

    Bridget and I just arrived home from this year’s birthday dinner.

    I hope your cake was delicious, and that you have many many more joyous birthdays.

    I had no idea it was your birthday! You certainly look like motherhood suits you! Sophia couldn’t be more beautiful…she takes after her mother. Here’s to a fabulous year ahead.

    She’s just beautiful…and so are you. Happy Birthday, sweetie.

  20. Elinor says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I just looked through the Sophia gallery on Flickr – she is *such* a doll. I can’t decide who she takes after. I think she’s a good mix of you both. It’s funny, looking at her newborn pictures made me realize that I don’t have a newborn anymore… Six months looks a lot different but since you’re with the baby all the time, you don’t see how she changes. :-)

    That is the sweetest picture there of Mommy and Sophia. I can’t get over it.

    Can I ask — what camera do you use? You have the greatest photos – really high quality.

    Happy Birthday!

    Awwww. Thanks for sharing all the fab pics of Sophia. Her sweater is beautiful – but not as much as she is. And you – being a Mom clearly suits you. You look so calm and tranquil and joyous.
    I love the pic of Sophia in her towel! How funny. And Daddy is a Rock Star – too cute.
