Sofia Richie Grainge marked a major milestone on May 21 as she and her husband, Elliot Grainge, celebrated their daughter Eloise’s first birthday. The 26-year-old model shared touching photos and a heartfelt message on Instagram, reflecting on the emotional significance of the day.
“A year ago today my little girl was born,” Richie wrote. “I didn’t realize her first birthday would be such a mix of emotions. It’s an amazing milestone, but I also realize those tiny moments are now memories. Watching her grow has been a gift. My greatest achievement will always be her.”
She continued by expressing the deep love she and Elliot share for their daughter. “She has given me purpose. I am nothing without her,” she said. “I don’t know what I did to deserve my little buggie, but I know my heaven is here on earth with her. We feel so blessed.”
The photos offered a rare glimpse of the family of three celebrating outdoors. Sofia and Elliot lay on a picnic blanket beside Eloise, surrounded by pastel camping tents, star and flower pillows, balloons, and a cotton candy machine. Sofia wore pink pants and a white shirt, while Elliot coordinated in a pink shirt and gray pants. Eloise, seen from behind, wore a striped yellow and pink onesie with a matching bib.
Additional images on Sofia’s Instagram Stories showed more of the festivities, including a pink bouncy house and a two-tiered pink and green cake decorated with a unicorn topper, rainbow accents, and Eloise’s name in frosting.
The intimate celebration reflected the couple’s joy and the special bond they share with their daughter as she turned one.
