Just had to jump into my friends pool with my clothes on cause Cricket was on a pool float that was about to go over the edge of the infinity pool and there was no one to help her in the pool and that’s just what you do, I guess. She’s fine. So am I. But I’m pretty soaking wet. So there’s that. HAPPY 4TH.

“She’s fine. So am I,” she continued. “But I’m pretty soaking wet. So there’s that. HAPPY 4TH.”

Cricket recently celebrated her fourth birthday, and Philipps, who is also mom to daughter Birdie, 8, with husband Marc Silverstein, shared a post of Cricket at the beach to mark the occasion.

“I was one of those people who told others with confidence we were ‘one and done,’” she wrote. “It was so hard for me to imagine having another kid for so many reasons, I thought for sure we wouldn’t. But then when Birdie turned 4, everything changed for me. And then she started asking when her brother or sister was coming. So we decided to have another kid. And from the moment she was born, 4 years ago this morning, she has brought nothing but joy and light into our lives. And I’m so glad she proved me a liar with my one and done nonsense. Happy birthday to my little Cricket, our Don Crickles, my sweet sweet baby girl.”

I was one of those people who told others with confidence we were “one and done”. It was so hard for me to imagine having another kid for so many reasons, I thought for sure we wouldn’t. But then when Birdie turned 4, everything changed for me. And then she started asking when her brother or sister was coming. So we decided to have another kid. I totally planned it around my Cougartown shooting schedule so that I wouldn’t miss work and I even had a date where if I wasn’t pregnant by that date, we wouldn’t do it. But lo and behold, I got pregnant with this little person. And from the moment she was born, 4 years ago this morning, she has brought nothing but joy and light into our lives. And I’m so glad she proved me a liar with my one and done nonsense. Happy birthday to my little Cricket, our Don Crickles, my sweet sweet baby girl.
