Your first birthday

Baby Zoe,

Today you are one year old. It's a special day for us. First there was me and Papa. Then you came, and turned us into a happy family. Through you I understood what people meant when they said that having kids is a lot of work but it's all worth it. Life was not complete without you. With you, I just don't get to complete anything.

We celebrated with balloons, love and foods you enjoy - fillet, peas, tomatoes, berries, and a special bottle of wine we've been saving for a worthy occasion: Stolpman, Sangiovese, 2006. We got it in California last May, when I was still pregnant with you, after having tasted a bunch of other wines. This one stood out, like you. And tonight you enjoyed sipping it too. On Sunday we will celebrate your birthday with friends and a bigger cake.

Love,
mommy
