Happy First Birthday, Isla!

Isla is one!  Our sweet baby girl has grown so much this year.  She can crawl, stand, cruise on her own. She can drink from a glass and sip from a straw, and say more than 20 words already.  She can sign as well.  Isla loves to read and will tell you "More book!" if you try to stop reading before she's ready.  She's independent and wants to do everything herself - NOW. 

The birthday girl then

and now.

The birthday festivities didn't start so well. Isla didn't like the hat (and she's teething badly).

But then, she saw the balloons...

And cake...

 

 And that wasn't so bad...



And then she got kisses...

Myles and Daddy got in on the act, too...

And then she was all smiles again...

She got presents - what the heck is that?!

And Myles got a present, too... 

And Judit gave her her first purse, with a bracelet, lipstick, mirror,  keys and money.  She loved that!

  She admired the bracelet for a while.

By the end, she decided birthdays weren't SO horrible.  :)

Happy birthday, Pookie.  We love you!
