To celebrate her special day she went to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park but here she is round about 5pm with the birthday cake that her grandma made in front of her.
The picture below was taken just after Christmas with four generations in view. Phoebe with her father, grandmother and great grandfather.
And finally, here's a typical view of our birthday girl. She is generally placid and easy-going though at the moment she has two more teeth coming through so she has been a little grumpy the last couple of days.
Over the past year, Phoebe has been the most wonderful distraction from the misery of COVID. Each day she brings sunshine and joy into our lives and to watch her developing has been a true privilege.
I was JUST thinking of Phoebe today and wondering which day was her birthday--I knew it was the middle of January. How the year has flown! What a lovely little girl!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Phoebe!
"Ga-da, ga-da-da-da onyx!" = Thank you Auntie Jennifer!
DeleteI can't believe that one year has already gone by since you announced her birth. She's certainly a bonnie girl. Enjoy.

I am happy to take your advice Briony.
DeleteThe only thing wrong with little kids is that they grow up too fast. Happy first birthday to Phoebe.
ReplyDeleteAs Maurice Chevalier sang...
DeleteThank heaven for little girls
They grow up in
The most delightful way.
Those little eyes
So helpless and appealing
When they were flashing
Send you crashing
Through the ceiling
Thank heaven for little girls
Thank heaven for them all
before you know it, you'll be walking her to school!
ReplyDeleteI hope that I am alive at that time.
DeleteHappy birthday to Phoebe!! She is a precious little girl who clearly brings joy to all those around.
ReplyDeleteI wonder when that might change. Maybe never.
DeleteGee, one year already. Happy birthday to Phoebe. She in her coat must have blended in nicely with the animals at the wildlife park.
ReplyDeleteI love that little coat. I cal it her snow leopard suit.
DeleteShe is so beautiful. I haven't held a baby in almost 18 years.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hold a baby. Best when they are little and don't weigh much.
DeleteThat year has really flown by but it must have been really lovely to distract you from the miseries going on in the world. She looks a bonnie lass. Happy Birthday Phoebe
ReplyDeleteDoes she remind you of your Kay when she was small?
DeleteThat year has flown by.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Phoebe.
"Da! Da! Gaaa-goooo!" = Thank you Nana Jaycee!
DeleteHappy Birthday Phoebe! (From one Capricorn to another).
ReplyDeleteShe looks so grown up in that last photo.
Capricorn = Goat. Phoebe says, "Thank you Nana Carol!"
DeleteHappy Birthday, little Phoebe! Long may you continue to be a ray of sunshine for your family.
ReplyDelete"GA! LA-LA-LA! Dee-dee-dee-dee!" = To win favour you have to act cute!
DeleteDid you sing that song: "One, de de de der One de de de der O-----n-----e----"?
ReplyDeleteNo. I sing...
Delete"Phoebe Harriet! Phoebe Harriet!
Riding in her silver chariot
All the way to The Hotel Marriot
Just to see a boy!"
Many Happy Returns Phoebe. Doesn't time fly?
ReplyDelete"Ga! Ga! Goo. Da-Daaaa!" = Yes it does Auntie Thelma.
DeleteNo. She cannot possibly be a year old already! Are you sure?
ReplyDeleteShe is precious and darling and yes, I am sure- a ray of sunshine for all who know her and love her. Thank you for the photos although I'm still certain you have your dates mixed up.
I am not very good with numbers so you might be right Auntie Mary!
DeleteThat warmed my heart. We used to have a friend whom the children called "Aunt Grandma."
DeleteNew here!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby...Happy Birthday!
Enjoy...

Happy Birthday, Miss Phoebe! You are a delight.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Phoebe! Can't believe it is a year already and we are mostly stuck at home or in the open air (which is not too bad, come to think of it...the open air, I mean.) What beautiful teeth! I give you a virtual hug as I sip my morning coffee and plan my day. Ta, ta!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Phoebe! She's such a smiley girl but teething is painful; I don't blame her for being a bit cranky.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday beautiful Phoebe. It has been such a gift to watch you grow and develop this past year. May we share many more happy moments. Much love to you and all your family, Adele
ReplyDeleteShe looks like joy personified. You are a lucky grandpa.
ReplyDeleteShe's so damned cute! Happy birthday Miss Phoebe.
ReplyDeleteAdorable as always!
