Happy Birthday Lillia

Happy Birthday to Lillia!

Melissa writes: Dearest Lil, We are not quite sure where this year has gone. From the get-go you made it clear that you would be happy if held. We obliged and you responded with long, serious stares and then smiles. You were strong from the beginning. Holding your head up in the hospital and impressing the nurses with your strength and alertness. You take everything in, you study and marvel at the world around you...

You are happy all the time. You rarely cry and you are a champion sleeper. You are a flirt and a cuddler.

You are wholly loved.

Birthday Shout-out requests are easy: send the name, birthdate, message and photo of your child to nursery(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com with "Happy Birthday" in the subject line. Voila!

wow! thanks for all the love! this kid hasn't had the easiest first year, but she has smiled and laughed through it all. these pictures capture a fraction of her crazy-happy spirit--i honestly do not know what we did to deserve her.

You can't look at that sweet face in the last photo and NOT smile!
