One year. Twelve teeth. Three hundred photos. Infinite love. Happy first birthday, beautiful.
New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Happy 1st birthday to a baby girl who has somehow rearranged our entire concept of joy.
First birthday wishes. The whole family will be there. The whole family will hold you. The whole family will agree you're perfect.
Happy first birthday, baby girl. The dog adjusted. The cat is still undecided. Everyone else is yours, completely.
One year old. The grandparents are going to cry. We are too. You will smash cake. Standard first birthday energy.
Happy 1st birthday. May your second year be full of new words, brave first steps, and at least one nap a day. For all of us.

First birthday love for a daughter who has already shown us what stubborn determination looks like. We are a little scared. Mostly proud.
Happy first birthday, baby girl. You came in loud. You remain loud. We wouldn't change a single decibel.
One year. We made it. You made us. Happy 1st birthday.
Happy 1st birthday to the tiny girl who already knows exactly which adult is the soft one. (Mostly all of us.)
First birthday wishes. May the next year be full of slow mornings, bath splashes, and lullabies sung off-key.
Happy first birthday. The party is for you. The exhausted nap afterward is for us. Fair trade.
One year old today. You changed the whole shape of our lives, and we are deeply, completely grateful. Happy first birthday.
Happy 1st birthday, baby girl. May year two bring you brave steps, big laughs, and the kind of bedtime that finally sticks.
Happy birthday, sister. Another year of you being the older one. (Or the younger one. We don't admit either.)
Birthday wishes to my sister, who shares my parents, my mom's hairline, and apparently none of my taste in music.
Happy birthday. The good news: you're aging. The bad news: I'm still younger, somehow.
Sister, you're another year older. Don't worry, the photos on the fridge are still from 2008. We're keeping it kind.
Happy birthday to the sister who has been a reliable source of stolen clothes and oddly accurate advice for decades.
Birthday card for my sister: hand-drawn, slightly insulting, fully sincere. Same as every year.
Happy birthday. You're getting old. I'm not yet. The math doesn't add up. We don't discuss the math.
Sister — another year, another excuse for mom to dig out the same humiliating baby photo. Iconic.
Happy birthday. The candles on the cake are also a small fire hazard now. We've adjusted insurance accordingly.
Birthday wishes for the sister who taught me everything I know — including how to lie convincingly about who broke the lamp in 2003.
Happy birthday, sister. May your hair hold, your knees not click yet, and your wallet survive your own birthday dinner choices.
