1 year old!

Here are the traditional cake pictures! She did a good job getting it on her hands but not so much on her face and hair. She's a girlie girl at heart! What a wonderful birthday party we had. There were seven kids there which was fun. Isla loves other children! Auntie Laura made the most amazing cupcakes and super big girl cupcake for Isla! Laura is so talented!!

Well, my baby is one! I can't believe how much she has changed in one year. I was looking at videos from when she was only weeks old and it is incredible how different she was then. Every stage she has gone through so far I have loved. I look forward to all of the stages to come!

Florida!

What a great time we had in Florida! Isla was a little out of sorts the first two days as she had her top two teeth pop through! She had fevers and even vomited one day which scared me! I started crying! I guess the first time you see your baby throw up is a shocker!
This picture is of baby Isla with "GG" as we call Great-grandma Edie. Edie will turn 95 later this year! I cannot figure out to make this picture up and down! Oh well! So we went to the pool or beach almost everyday. The weather was awesome. It only rained one day and that was the day Isla was sick so it worked out perfectly!

This picture was at Siesta Key beach. Isla was so tired she fell asleep under the umbrella on the beach. She went into the ocean twice and after getting past the waves which freaked her out she did great!

Uncle John and Auntie Saori were in Florida with us for a couple of days which was so nice. We haven't seen them since Christmas. They are expecting a baby in September!

I took some shots of Isla outside of Barb and Marty's house in her beach outfit and crocs. What a cutie!

This is at Lakewood Ranch just down the road from Barb and Marty's place. Again, we couldn't have asked for better weather. We ate outside at almost every meal!

In the pool with Grandma Barb!

Isla loved her rubber duckie for the pool!
This was her cute cover-up that Grandma Carol gave her. You can see her new top teeth in this picture.

Thank you Barb and Marty for a GREAT vacation!!

box

Amanda put Isla in this cardboard box and let her try to figure out how to get out of it. She's so smart it took about 10 seconds for her to figure it out!

Of course I am biased but she really is smart. This morning I found her standing next to the door reaching up to try to turn the doorknob! Fortunately she's not quite tall enough to reach it but it's a matter of weeks until she's opening doors!!
