That's me at 6 months! Today is my birthday and I am...older.
Liberty was at my bedside waiting for me to open my presents at 6am this morning. I'll take some pics of my gifts later but let's just say I already feel like the luckiest girl alive and it's not even 8am!
This pic was taken at 17 months. I still have that dress! Liberty wore it a couple of times when she was a baby.
And here's my family on Christmas Day. The weather here in New Zealand has been glorious and it looks like another great day for my birthday barbecue this afternoon!
And Happy Birthday to Eva who shares the same birthday as me on the other side of the world!
I hope you're all having a wonderful time too!
