Birthday Girls

Today, Lily is officially 7 weeks old, I am 26 years old, and my mom is 54. It's the first birthday I've celebrated since becoming a mother and I can't think of a better way to share it than with my daughter and my mother (who shares my birthday as well). Three generations of women, all pretty darn good-looking if you ask me (haha!).

My mother had me on her 28th birthday. I used to could never understand how each year, on our joint birthday, she'd relegate herself to the background and let it be my special day. Now that I'm a mom, I think I can finally relate. You want your kids to shine and be happy and feel all the love in the world. I know that Valentine's Day will never be the same for me again, celebrating Lily's birthday.

Last year at this time, I could not have imagined my good forture to come. My 25th year has been a great success, full of amazing lessons and awesome gifts.
