birthday girl
my little niece is 1! yes already and indeed it happened even faster than my own little guys first years;

we gathered, celebrated (ahem, i ate a lot) and we all stared at the babies a lot.


(22 years between my 2 nieces!)

Happy birthday sweet gal. love Auntie. i can’t wait to start being your nanny too!



her top curls are very sweet. x

Love that picture of her peeking out from among the balloons. My girl just had her second birthday–seems like the years go at lightning speed.

how lovely! Is there a tradition about bliss balls (are those that?) for first b-days in Canada? I’m curious!
take care!
