Our little Jelly Belley turned 1 this weekend on the 23rd! This year has gone by extremely fast, but you know what they say, “time flies when you’re having fun!” We can’t even imagine what our lives would be like without our little princess, she brings us so much joy and happiness. The bigger she gets the more fun she becomes. She's got the cutest personality and we can't believe it's even possible to love something as much as we love her.

Here's 5 things we love about Isabelle:

1 - Her mean face: she scrunches up her nose, squints her eyes and breathes really hard.

2 - She loves bracelets: anything she can put around her wrist, she'll wear it (stacking rings, flip flops, elastics & jewelery.)

3 - Her excitement when someone starts singing "Isabelley Jelly Time."

4 - When she pretends to talk on the phone. It's sad that a 1 year old can see our culture's obsession with cell phones but it's so cute. She puts her hand up to her ear and babbles away.

5 - Her smile when one of us comes home, she has the biggest grin and reaches out her arms for you to hold her. Then gives you a big wet open mouth slobbery kiss.

I know these things will fade with time as she grows but we will always remember. There's nothing like having a daughter!

We had some great parties on Sunday, Isabelle had such a blast the entire day. Opening gifts, playing with the kids and eating cake kept her busy for hours. It was a pleasure seeing those who made it and we are so grateful that you could share our special day with us!

WE LOVE YOU ISABELLE!
