18 Months

Our little baby is 18-months-old today. She's not our little baby any more. She's our little girl. It's amazing how quickly she is shedding all signs of babyness and turning into this fun, happy-go-lucky, intrepid toddler, including screams of frustration when inanimate objects do not obey her every whim.

Sera is fit as a fiddle, but I'm a bit under the weather, so Jim stopped on his way home and picked up dinner. We drove separately the last two days because he had meetings after school. I'm the one who is always noting our adoption and Sera related "monthiversaries." We even mentioned today in passing a few days ago. To be honest, though, I was so focused on just getting home today that it slipped my mind. Not Daddy's though, Jim stopped and picked up our favorite Sichuan Shrimp for us and Mai Fun Noodles with Shrimp for Sera. She rarely eats the meat in her noodles, but she does like extra carrots. Her shrimp were more for us. He also bought a half cake for her half birthday. She had absolutely no interest in her cake on her birthday. It was much too soon. Tonight? Totally different story.

Happy Half-Birthday, my beautiful Sera.
