Alex threw me a "surprise" birthday party last Saturday. I use quotations when I say "surprise" because Alex has a difficult time hiding anything from me. This is a great quality most of the time, especially when we play poker, so I don't complain that I can see through his excuses to make secret squirrel phone calls and side conversations when he thinks I'm not paying attention. It's adorable, more than anything. And I love it that he's so thoughtful. I love it that he even goes to the trouble to do something special for me on my big day.
This year we went to El Palmar, home of Paella, and enjoyed a nice outdoor lunch with some of our friends and our cute little garbanzo bean. She is definitely Spanish. She understands l0ng lunches, and doesn't fuss. She'll sit in her stroller and stare for a while and interact with everyone, then she's quite content to be passed around a bit. I can't believe how lucky we are to have such a laid-back baby! (I knock on wood every time I say this)
After lunch we went on a little walk and ended the day with drinks at the Bohemian. I nursed a beer for about three hours so I could nurse her later, and actually ended up feeling a bit buzzed so "had to" make myself a mocha milkshake. It was sublime!
I loved my birthday. I love my husband and daughter and my friends and family who made it special by calling and sending emails to wish me a happy birthday! Thanks everyone!

That is the sweetest picture! I think they both have the same wonderful smile...don't you?
Sarah, Bella looks exactly like you when you were younger. Ok so I didn't know you when you were that young but from pictures of your childhood, she's a spitting image. I'm so glad you had a great b-day, and you were worried. :o) Often things turn out better than we planned, huh? I can't wait to meet your little treasure! I liked reading your comments on our blog. I can't wait to see you all!!!
I agree with Jenny! The first thought I had when I saw this picture was that she looks just like your baby pictures! My second thought was of how cute that subtle little smile is!! Bella's smile is cute too :) hehe.
