Happy Maybe Birthday, Astrid!

Today was the date when my sister and I have decided to celebrate Astrid's "maybe" birthday (which we also call her "maybe baby" birthday). We don't know exactly when she was born, so after we got her we had to do some deliberating to choose a "maybe" birthday for her.

When we first got Astrid in July 2013 she was roughly five months old, so, backtracking five months, we decided on a February "maybe" birthday for her. It was on July 12, 2013, when Astrid first appeared in my uncle's yard, so we initially considered February 12th, but since we already have some birthdays in the family on that day we ultimately decided against it. We first met Astrid on July 13th, but we quickly ruled out February 13th as her "maybe" birthday because that is the death date of Rosie's brother, Sammy, and it just didn't seem right to choose that same date as Astrid's "maybe" birthday. Well, it was on July 20, 2013, when we finally brought Astrid to our home to live with us, and ultimately we decided on February 20th as Astrid's "maybe" birthday.

So, happy "maybe baby" birthday, sweet Astrid! I can't believe you're already 2 years old!

Moreover, I'm happy to announce that Astrid loved her birthday gift!

Astrid received yet another chewbone for her "maybe" birthday. Her chewbone and toy collection is quite extensive, but she doesn't seem to mind.

Have a wonderful weekend, bloggers!
