happy birthday...

It's my big sister's "for real" birthday tomorrow...
But, this morning i whispered 'happy birthday' to tiny fresh yum, all cozy and still sleeping in his cradle.
"It's his birthday??!!" Mollen whispered loudly from the closet where she was in her pink undies wrestling with her shorts, trying to get dressed...
"Well, it's his 3 month-a-birthday today..."
He's so lovely...
"No, mama - today, he's one. He really is." Cairo corrected me.
& he is one. One year of blissfully growing at an astonishing rate.
One year of the rest of us falling in love - feeling him move inside and now outside too...
One year of changing, heart beating, getting stronger and stronger.
One year that 9 months into - he changed his dwelling from inside...
to out.
One year.
One year of life.
Happy birthday, starry eyed, delicious one....
