Happy (belated) Birthday, Simone!! You’ve come so far already, I wonder where you’ll be NEXT year…

Oh, and what WERE you planning to do with that cake? I would really like to know what you were thinking when that picture was taken! ;-)

Happy birthday, Simone! I went back and reread the February 2008 entries to remind myself of her birth (procrastinating from grading papers), and it’s incredible to think that this beautiful, healthy-looking little girl is the same child as the one in those entries.

[sing-song] How big is Simoooooone? Sooooooo big! [/sing-song]

Alexa, thank you for letting us share these milestones. Looking at these photos it’s almost impossible to believe that your tiny preemie has become a sturdy little toddler. I can’t wait to read your book!

Well, mama! We shouls be singing Happy Birthday to you,too. If not for you taking such phenominal care of her in her early days, she may not be blowing out those candles today. You are a superb mother and caretaker. Remember way back when, when you had NO idea of what the hell you were doing? You learned quick! And you did a fine job I must say. She’s a beauty! Don’t forget to say Happy Birthday to dear sweet Ames too! Heaven is having his candles blaring I am sure! Keep up the great mommy work! It show’s Alexa!

What a strong, healthy little girl to emerge so early and despite the odds. Thinking of you and your book, and of course, remembering Ames as well.

Wow…two years old…that’s awesome. Happy Birthday Simone!!!

Also, is it just me, or does she seem REALLY interested in that fire? I think I see mischief a-brewing in those big, innocent-looking eyes.
