Well. It’s here.
This is the final day of Hannah’s infancy, the final day of what has been the most nourishing year of my life.
My daughter (mine–wow), this one,
is turning one tomorrow.
It would be impossible to contain this year with some eloquent statement.
It’s simple, though. I’m deliriously in love, my heart surges and shatters every single day, and I am emphatically, everlastingly grateful.
This tiny human has given me so much, and I can only hope that I’ve given her a fraction of that.

She’s beautiful. Happy early birthday to her.
I can’t even believe that photo. I am tempted to have you attend my next birth as the photographer, because Torsten and I were not in a state to get anything even close to that caliber of photo, sadly.
Happy early birthday to Hannah. You guys are lucky to have each other.
Happy early birthday Hannah! I love that picture.
I was so excited for you this time last year (and jealous at the same time that you got it over with before me!) I can’t believe our little girls are already getting so old! Now that C has been walking, I take pictures and I do a double take because they just look so old now!! Have such a great birthday with H!!!
Beautiful. Happy birthday,Hannah.

This made me tear up, knowing what you went through to get Hannah, and knowing how perfectly she fits in your family. It’s awesome to see your joy–and her beautiful face as she grows up!
Our little girls almost share a birthday. Zoe turned 3 on the 12th January and I had to say good-bye to her toddler years…it was bittersweet.
I hope you enjoyed her birthday
oh I’m a day late but Happy Birthday!!!!!
Such an exciting time. I can’t believe it’s been a year. Knowing through everything you went through in the years before this past one, I am still so happy for you and your little family.
that came out wrong…
what i meant to say is that you have earned every ounce of this love and happiness that Hannah brings you and that I know you bring her. I love to see her grow and your family grow.
ugh…damn cold.
Man, I’m with Ginger- this is so beautiful!! <3

This makes me want to go kiss my baby girl on the cheek while she sleeps… I hope your 2nd year with Hannah is as blessed as her first was. You 3 are such a precious family <3
