Happy Birdie Day















My baby is 1 today. And for once I'm out of words.

She is lovely and it's been a tough year. She is strong and I have faced my own weakness over and over. She is sensitive and loud and vocal and affectionate. She is clear-eyed and snuggly, tender-hearted and tough as nails.

She's my girl.

My Baby Birdie, my Adeleine. Flesh of my flesh and completely her own. I love her exactly the same as Pea and completely, utterly different.

I can't imagine life without her.
