A ONEderful time was had by all...



Isabella celebrated the big "1" over the weekend. It was wonderful to have such a large group of family and friends there to celebrate with us. Isabella seemed unaffected by all the activity and attention. We were all exhausted by the days end.

I learned that we should save any exciting presents and open only after the majority of other gifts have been opened...opening exciting gifts first leaves a girl not interested in anything else and mom ends up opening many presents on her behalf. Live and learn. Isabella received an entire summer wardrobe by my measure and some great toys and books. What was the exciting present you ask? A tricycle...even though her feet don't quite touch the pedals, it did not stop Isabella from climbing on and enjoy being "driven" all around the house.

It is hard to believe I've been a mommy for a full year...what a life changing experience this has been. Motherhood has unequivicolly exceeded my expectations in every way. Isabella is such a sweet and fun little girl...I love her more than I can say.

Isabella's 1-year stats:
22-lbs (60th percentile)
31-inches tall (85th percentile)

Hey - you're missing the good details, like in the first photo is just seconds before Jason lets Bella almost burn her little fingers off. Well, not really that bad, but she's a quick little thing!
