Happy Birthday Isabella

I can't believe it. Isabella turned 1 today. We got up at 8:00 and played with her new drum and magnets. We got her a tricycle too, but she won't be able to use it until next year. Had our pictures taken at 11:00. Of course Izzy didn't get her nap in before then, so about a half hour into pictures she got really cranky. We got the most important pictures though. A couple in her birthday dress and a few family pictures. They turned out great! After that we went to Grandma and Grandpa's and had birthday cake. She just jumped right in and got her hands dirty. I don't think I have ever seen a baby enjoy eating icing and some cake, like I did today. It was hilarious.

I would like to say that this entire week has been extremely busy. The only time I actually had to myself was on Tuesday when Izzy was napping. I arranged furniture, washed dishes, and did two loads of laundry, oh plus made dinner. We went to the St. Patty's parade yesterday. It was chilly, but I enjoyed watching Izzy watch the people. She loved it. She just laughed and pointed.

Tomorrow I am meeting an old friend for lunch and catching up on our lives. I will probably try to clean my house again, so it's spic and span for Sunday; Isabella's birthday party!
