Sophie’s one

Sophie’s one today. We regaled her this morning with “Happy Birthday!” as she sat up in bed and smiled like a scamp. She was amiable at breakfast, too, a big surprise to me because she gets fussy at the sight of solids these days (to get her to eat, Luna and I have resorted to singing and cavorting; believe me, neither of us can hold a tune).

She’s in love with a cracker, a big, flat, rectangular thing studded with sesame seeds, fennel seeds and parmesan cheese. Sophie nibbled one with me, in bed, as we watched Mexico trounce the Iranian team 3—1 at the World Cup. Afterwards I carefully gathered cracker crumbs from the comforter. Sophie snuggled up to me and drifted off to sleep. (She’s still sleeping, flat on her back in a powder blue two-piece, lavender socks, and a noup-noup in her mouth.)

After lunch we’re taking Sophie to the Zoo. Mom’ll join us. I can’t recall the last time I visited the Zoo, but having a kid means getting to re-live it. But it’ll be much better. Everything’s better shared with your daughter!
