All my life now appears to be one happy moment,” Gagarin (the world’s first cosmonaut) said mere minutes before entering his spaceship. “Everything that was lived and done before was achieved for this moment alone.”

We call her Delphine, mostly, but also Delphini, stinker pink, dream bread, chòudòufu, plinker, angel, bam bam, the list goes on.

She’s sensitive, just like her parents. She’s fundamentally extroverted but takes her time in social situations. She’s loving, cuddly and completely hilarious. Her first, and favorite word, is “no.” She was an “easy baby” but now that she’s a toddler she’s very clear about her agenda, interests, and preferences.

She’s been the brightest, shiniest light in our lives for two whole years! We’re astonished, and delighted, by her every single day.
