Isabella

I realized today that I haven't written too much about Isabella lately and since she is worthy of a blog all about her (isn't that where this started after all???), I thought I would just give a little update on my sweet girl.

Isabella is truly a toddler now.  She talks up a storm, and wants to do most everything herself these days.  Some days I look at her and can't believe how much she has grown.  She is wearing 3T clothing so most people think she is much older than she is (especially with how much she talks). 

She is kind, generous, funny, strong willed, opinionated and independent.  She loves to play in water, with dolls, blocks, and ride her bikes (tricycle, scooter and other riding items).  She especially loves to read books.  She has recently learned the phrase "want to" as in "I don't want to" or "I want to".  This has been a fun addition to our world since she now further expresses her displeasure when we are telling her she may not do something, or needs to do something.  Although in my weaker moments it kills me a little, most of the time I can appreciate her grasp of the concept (and think it is pretty cute too).

I am just so blessed to have this amazing person in my life.  She makes me laugh daily and is easily the sweetest, most loving person I have ever met.  I can't wait to see how she grows even more as a big sister when her little brother joins us.  In the mean time, I look forward to the time we have with just Bella.

Bath time fun!

Happy girl in her new big girl bed!
