I have a 1 year old

Today my baby is 1!

I cant believe she's been in our lives for a year.

I remember thinking after having her (besides thank heavens that's over)

is that she was the most beautiful baby ever.

She was all wrinkly and her extremities were blue but she was beautiful.

She had the cutest little scowl that unfortunately went away a week later.

She has done so much growing in the last year its hard to remember that she was once

a tiny little thing.

We've enjoyed so many first with her..

her first bath,

first tooth,

first time she rolled over,

first time she smiled for real,

first time she laughed,

first time she crawled,

her first steps..

I cant wait to see all the other first that are to come.

Isabelle has brought so much joy into my life and the lives of those around her

its amazing what the love of a child can do!

Well beautiful, determined, independent little Isabelle Happy First Birthday.

You've brought so much this first year of your life

we cant wait to see what this next year brings us.

We love you!!
