Happy Birthday Simone!
boo was nursing when i hit “play”, and he immediately stopped and turned to watch. we are both smitten.
happy birthday, lovely girl. we hope your mama enjoys your cupcakes.
What a year. Happy birthday, Simone.
And thank you for your writing. I don’t know if I’ve commented here before, but I look forward to your posts every time.
Happy Birthday Simone! What a beautiful slideshow.
What an amazing year it has been for an amazing little girl. Happy Birthday, Simone!
Awww…happy birthday!
I’ve read your blog twice through, but I’ve never yet commented. I just needed to tell you that Simone’s birthday video moved me to tears. She has become such a pumpkin! Happy birthday to her, and all blessings on her coming year and her future.
By the way, I also wanted to say that you are a very talented writer. (And I’m an English professor, if not an agent, alas, so I know a little something about narrative and tone and voice.) Anyhow, have you ever thought about writing a guide to ART procedures for the hip and the witty? I, for one, would buy such a book in a heartbeat, aspiring, as I do, to know something about IVF and to attain hipness and wittiness…
Fabulous! Happy Birthday Simone, and Flotsam Family. Alexa, it is a good time for you to reflect on your success as a mother – you did it!
how absurdly beautiful is your child? my lord.
wow……our babies were supposed to be born around the same time, so it just floors me that Simone is ONE! Happy birthday beautiful Simone!
Wow – can’t even believe it’s already that time! Many many happy returns!
Remember way back when you were afraid to hope? Isn’t this day FANTASTIC???? Happy birthday, beautiful bouncy Simone, and congratulations, Alexa & Scott, for finishing up this first and worst year reasonably sane.
Happy Birthday Kiddo! What a great video!
Absolutely gorgeous! What a year you’ve had. Happy Birthday, big girl, Simone. God bless you.
I haven’t commented in ages, but I’ve been following your posts constantly. This video is absolutely lovely, Alexa. What a tribute to your remarkable baby girl. It made me cry very happy tears for you all. Happy birthday, Simone!
happy birthday Simone. happy birthday, mama.
Delurking to say that I can’t believe it has been over one year that I have been reading your blog!
Happy Birthday Beautiful Simone!
Happy birthday, Simone!
Happy Birthday, Simone! What amazing images. Your little life, just incredible.
I can’t believe I’ve been reading about her growing for the last year and now she’s a year old! Happy birthday, Simone! You are such a loved little girl!
Happy birthday, Simone! I love to see you jumping up and down!
And congratulations to you and Scott, Alexa. Happy tears here. :~)
Oh Simone, Happy Birthday! And may I commend you on your avent garde (you know, for a baby – wait, make that Toddler) taste in music. I remember each one of those pictures being posted. I remembered you when my daughter was born early in March of 2008. I told her you’d been through all this and more and were managing to rock the nasal canula with some serious Style. So she was inspired to following in your tiny little footsteps and also become a fat, giggly little baby… er, almost Toddler. You’re a rock star Simone.
Happy, happy birthday gorgeous girl!
I love this. I watched it once and it made me cry. Then I made my husband watch it and at first he was like…what? I don’t even know this baby. But then he was immediately sucked in. What a year you’ve had.
Happy Birthday, Simone!
What? No no no. She can’t be a year. HOW has it been a year? Wow. She is incredible, as are you. Many hugs all around.
She is beautiful. I can’t believe it has been a year either. Amazing.
You’ve inspired me, and this year we will be in the Walk for Babies with ours.
wow! happy birthday beautiful girl!
Okay, you got me. You got me! I am sitting here crying like a little bitch watching this. She is marvelous. What more to say? Happy Birthday to all of you.
yikes, one year already?!?
happy birthday!
twinkle twinkle happiness…
What an amazing journey you have all been on. Happy Birthday to Simone, to you & Scott, and to the memory of Ames.
Amazing. What a long, strange year it’s been.
Very, very happy birthday to you all.
I loved that. I can’t believe you were able to make a video that cool with everything going on. She’s gorgeous and FAAAAT! Congratulations. And, yes, Ames is in my thoughts as well.
I can’t believe it has been a year! I’m sure your Mommy and Daddy can’t believe it either. Happy Birthday!
I warned you a long time ago about these preemies – how they grow and thrive and turn out so marvelously!
Happy Happy Happy Bithday to the beautiful and very charming Simone and Many Happy Returns of the Day to you, Mama Alexa.

Happy Birthday, Simone! You’ve come such a long way in only a year, amazing.
zomg that made me cry.
Happy Birthday sweetie.
{Delurking} – Happy Birthday Simone! I bookmarked your website last year to check in on Simone while she was in the NICU, but I’ve stayed because it’s been so fun to watch her grow, and because I really enjoy your writing! Enjoy your sweet baby – they grow so fast! (My oldest just turned 15 yesterday, and I swear he was little just a few weeks ago…)
Happy happy birthday Simone :) She is the CUTEST. Evah!
All together now…”AWWWWWWWWWWW…”
