Tomorrow my baby girl turns one.
last year at this time i was spending 98% of my time bitching that everyone else had already had their august and end of July babies…and i was the ONLY. ONE. STILL. PREGNANT. (except for Becca, who held out longer than I did)

Yesterday, one of my best friends, Tova, and I made a double-header first birthday party for her son Noah, and for my daughter, Isabella, who were born 2 days apart. This isn’t the first time the Martell/Posner duo had a joint shindig. Noah and Isabella were both named at a double bris/baby naming at our synogogue. please join us next year for when they turn 2. 🙂

here are some pictures. please note: i didn’t have time to get them all off the camera and i still haven’t gotten Tova’s pics from the party (which might be better than mine)
