Aimée, was there a birthday party already t /pictures-greedy

It's funny. My best friend's son, who was born a day before Emeline, still isn't one year old, because they're celebrating according the the Jewish calendar. His birthday will only be in a couple of weeks. [Edit: the former Jewish year had 13 months, in order to synchronize the Jewish calendar with the 'sun' year, which is why the birth dates are so far apart.]

My best friend had her first child the day after my birthday. She assures me she should get partial credit for going into labour on my birthday, but I told her to give it another go. I mean, the kid could have been my favourite forever, you know?

Emeline birthday pictures.

ND has some more I'm sure he'll post later.

I would rather keep my birthday all to myself, mine, my own, my precious, than share it with kids who are undoubtedly going to be more adorable, charming and less-gift-aware than me. I'm not good at competitions, especially ones I'm going to totally lose.

I adore Nilly.

My family made m share my birthday with my cousin once. After the godawful fit I threw over having to share - even if it was just a cake and a song - they never made that mistake again.

I was 16.

Hmm... so do people end up with two ages after a while?

You don't have to be a TOTAL diva to not want to share your sweet sixteen.

Aimée, she's so adorable! What expressive face, and that smile! And I can almost imagine how she's going to look like in a few years, when she's actually a child, not a baby anymore. And she's adorable in my imagination, as well.

They choose when to celebrate their birthday, general or Jewish date. There's usually at least a few days' difference. A friend of mine says that we should celebrate all throughout the period between the two dates.

Huh. I just checked, and my Hebrew birthday isn't for two more days (5 Kislev). That's nearly a month after my regular birthday was. (I totally lost track of this stuff once I got past elementary school and we didn't celebrate Hebrew birthdays in Hebrew school anymore.)

One of her gifts was this magnetic song farm toy. It has different anmals that have a front piece and a back piece. You can have a pig head and a duck's butt, and if you push the song button, it sings, "You put a pig in front, you put a duck behind. Put them together and what do you find? A PIG-DUCK!?!"

It's funniest famn thing ever.
