D turned 13 on September 22nd. I would have posted before now, but I waited 'til I could add some of her baby pictures to the mosaic. I best do that when I get a chance. Better to post sooner than never. Until then, just imagine a petite, smiling girl with fuzz on her head and lovely gray eyes.
These photos are D from age 2 1/2 to 12 1/2 and are some of my favorite photos of her alone. Together, they give you a glimpse of who my daughter is. Let me give you another glimpse in words: a spitfire wrapped in velvet, a gust of silence.
D had a few wishes for her birthday. She wanted to stay home, visit a hobby shop, and eat apple pie. That should tell you a lot about my daughter right there - a crafty homebody who's not that fond of cake.
Unlike her brother who wants to go, go, go, D prefers quiet and home. She detests attention, so don't sing "Happy Birthday" or make a big deal. Her birthdays are always such solemn events. Odd for a girl who smiles so much.
We, of course, made all her wishes come true. She is, after all, our favorite girl.
Very sweet! Happy belated birthday to your daughter! I'm in the process (long process) of organizing all of my photos. They are a huge mess!
Lovely! 1995 was a good year for daughters to be born. :) Wish ours could meet!
Best wishes,
Laura
