One year old!

Today is the Pickle's birthday! I can't believe it has been a whole year since I nervously held her for the first time, listened to her cry.

I have been so blessed to be able to nurse her for a year, and still going - not everyone gets that chance. I am proud of our choice to never make her cry herself to sleep. I have adored safely bedsharing with her since she was about six weeks old, and a plethora of other things.

Mostly I am so proud of the independent, confident, charismatic wonder she is. I am certain our parenting choices have helped this, but I think she is just an amazing little person. She is so happy and laid-back, despite my worrying. She is truly a miracle in every sense of the word.

Happy 1st birthday, Alice! <3

Happiest Birthday to Miss Pickle! I just cannot believe that she is 1! It has been so much fun watching her grow over the last year and I am so excited to see what the coming year brings for you both. Lots of love to you during this bittersweet week of celebration.
