Isabel is 1

Can you believe it?? Isabel is 1! Our beautiful girl turned 1 on July 23rd. She is nothing like her brother and has a personality that overflows with happiness. She is usually smiling and laughing her head off, or she is screaming her head off like a Pterydactyl!  She looks up to her brother and wants to do everything he does. She is already trying to do big girl things. She is starting to use a fork, she can walk behind her walker and she loves being in the water. She even dives into Pine Lake head first from the steps. It is amazing how fearless she is.

Our little one weighs in at 17 pounds 2.4 ounces and is 28.66 inches tall.

The birthday girl! 

Sitting pretty, waiting for the party to begin. 

We celebrated by having a party at my friend Hailey's house. She has a huge yard and great house. We had a few friends and some family join us for the festivities. It was a little more low key then Maxwell's 1st, and that suited us just fine.

"I have the crown, the cake...where are my presents?!?" 

 Pretty birthday princess.

"Oh, birthday candle, I get it!" 

 "Singing... for me... awwwww thanks!"

 Carrot cake with pineapple, chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting.

"Hey, when is my birthday party?"  

 Baby Daddy! Isabelly says, "Hey, that's my binky!"

"Nobody said anything about presents. Wait, what are presents?"

Isabel's friend Elliott, came and helped with presents. He received this same gift for Christmas so he was eager to help Isabel figure it all out. Thanks Aunty Judy and Uncle Dave for coming all the way from Bellingham and bringing presents.

Amazingly these kids were born only 9 days apart. Elliott towers over her.

We had a great day and she slept that afternoon for 3 hours. Quite the party girl!! Here is to another amazing year with our sweet girl and all the wonderful discoveries she is going to make.
