while at the computer


Lilah asked for Guminola so she could dance.

as it was her birthday, i didn't refuse.

but this is more of a document of a moment. not a dance, per se.

in the middle of the extravagance, Lilah goes to the cutlery drawer to get a straw for her tea (rooibosh, honey, milk). for the record, the straws are kept wrapped in a rubber band, and are not easy to extract.

now i'm just being a mum...

birthday morning!


although generally very happy in the morning, on this particular morning, lilah was closer to enthusiastically ecstatic than just plain ol' happy.


hooray! Lilah is 3 today!



smiling for the camera while talking to Nonnie and Papa Jon (7:15am glasgow time = 11:15pm california time) to say

Happy Birthday to Lilah,
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birrrrthdaaaaay!
You're getting older every year.
