Miss Izz is One Year Old!

It's crazy to look back on just one year ago and to see Isabelle so small. We totally thought we loved her so much and we did, but now as I look at her sweet little face I can honestly say that I swear I love her more everyday. She has had a great first year. It has been simply a wonderment to watch her grow. From her first smile, to her first laughs, to her learning to roll, crawl and walk and dance! I have never heard a child from nine months on say the word Hi sooo many times. From day one it's been the best to get Izz out of bed, she is always so happy and ready and waiting with a giant smile. Although lately I have noticed since she only gets her binks at nap times and bedtimes, she like to sit in her crib a bit longer in the mornings, becuase she knows I will take it away as soon as she gets up. I could go on and on about how much I love this gorgeous girl. She has been signing the word more for a while now and now does please and did milk really well just this morning. I swear she answers questions and says more words then we really catch on to. She gabbers all the time and waves Hi, bye and blows kisses, and if your lucky gives you real kisses! She loves to be chased and loves to hand Chewy his toys! She is constatly doing things that are so darling and cute we hope we never forget them. We had a great family party complete with food, presents, cake and ice cream, rain and rainbows and missed the few that couldn't come! But truely we find ourselves sincerely blessed to have Isabelle Marie apart of our lives. She truely and honestly makes each day happier and brighter. We can not imagine our lives without her!
