Isabelle's 1st Birthday Party!!

Isabelle Graece -

Your very first step was quite a surprise - 

You're changing right before our eyes!

First you rolled,

then you crawled,

NOW you're standing straight and tall!

With hands outstretched, 

your little feet 

will walk into the arms you'll meet!

You must have felt some trepidation 

but on your face was JUBILATION! 

Step by step, day by day, 

you're growing up in every way! 

Happy First Birthday princess!!

After many months of planning and spending WAYYY too much money we pulled off our little princess's FIRST birthday party today!! We had tons of fun and we are just finally getting to sit down!! I couldn't wait to see all the great shots we got and had to share since I haven't posted in a while! 

Warning: Photo Dump!

Isabelle's cRaZy Uncles!

Nourishment!

Maddox and Isabelle! She adores him!! Cousin Love!!

Opening her gifts, she is already so spoiled!

She'd rather play with her straw than open her gifts, I don't expect that to be the case next year!

Smash cake time!! She wasn't thrilled. 

Maddox helped Isabelle out with her candle. 

Aunt Veronique had to help her get started! Thanks Nique!!

Whew!! I am one exhausted Mama but I am so thankful that our little princess had an amazing time at her 1st birthday party!! Next year(and all the following years) is Isabelle's choice and I am so so excited to see what she is interested in through the years!! 

We love you Isabelle Graece!! 

Isabelle is 11 months!!

                                         
Stats: 16 lbs as of this past Saturday's sick day dr visit! Not sure how long she is though. 

Clothing Size: She is officially in 6 months and it looks like will be quickly jumping to 9 months!!

Currently Eating: This girl can eat! She loves just about everything, but she doesn't like the same thing over and over (so my plan of one or two different fruits for the week isn't working out). She LOVES strawberries and mandarin oranges, baked beans, and popcorn! She basically eats whatever we are eating (unless its spicy). 

Sleeping Habits: Usually she sleeps pretty well, still likes to get up around 4:30am - 5am but we usually bring her to our bed about that time and snuggle for an extra 5 or 10 45 minutes.

Firsts and Milestones: This past month has been crazy!! She took her first steps!! (very dark video below)  She shakes her head "No" at everything! Gives high fives and knuckles! Climbing whatever she can! She is EVERYWHERE! 

Favorite Things: Food, straws, play (plastic) cookies, my phone and the ipad (uh oh)

Number of Teeth: Still just two but we can see the top two coming in! 

Signature Moves: Memaw taught her the head bang while they're dancing to music! Its so funny. 

Best Mommy Moment: Cuddling while watching Christmas movies and eating popcorn during cold rainy days, I will cherish these memories forever!! 

She refuses to sit on the seat in the carts!

Waiting in line for a cabbage patch doll at Target! lol

Being silly (and complete bums) in the yard!

First Birthday Party! and blow up slide!
