Happy Birthday, Anika! My baby turns three.
Anika Rose Alter was born at home three years ago in the wee hours of the morning… The last three years have been generally fun, sometimes painful, and always crazy. Adding a third child wasn’t in the plans (so soon, or maybe at all), but she was determined to arrive.
Here’s a really short clip of her getting her cake today. Not too exciting, but Adam took it with my itty bitty digital camera that I keep in my purse, and I haven’t tried to upload video from it before. It’s me and all three kids blowing out candles. Anika is in my lap. (I know it looks crappy, but what do you expect! :D)
I will be back later with a short and sweet pictorial of my sweet girl’s life. 
EDIT: Her life in (some) pictures…
Happy Birthday, Anika! We love you!
Too cute. Our daughter is also 3, and was born on the 21st of May 2004. We’re also expecting our 3rd (unexpectedly).
Happy (late) b-day Anika! Give your Mum a hug

Hey Laura, I found your blog not long ago, I find your articles to be very interesting. In fact I have a list of 6 “must read everyday” blogs and you are there.
And this post is just awsome, your daughter is too cute.
Keep this blog good please, don’t turn it into crap like Techcrunch or Dean Hunt’s blogs did…
