Happy 5th Birthday!!!



Isabella turned 5 today. I honestly can't believe she has been part of our family for almost 5 years. I thought about her birth parents today and wondered if they were thinking about her or even if they remembered the day. How could a mother forget the birth of her child, though? I just hope they aren't too sad because she really is happy. She is a smart (sometimes smart-mouthed), beautiful, energetic, happy, moody, opinionated, lively little princess all rolled into one tiny body. She has become obsessed with wearing dresses and having her hair done a very specific way. She knows what she wants and doesn't mind telling ANYONE what that is. One minute she can be professing her undying love for you and the next minute, you see her little ass take off down the hall, with her nose in the air, usually screaming, "I don't like you anymore!" She loves eating cereal for breakfast, peanut butter and jelly for lunch, and soup for dinner. Her most favorite thing to do is drink chocolate milk while watching her iPod which she has perfectly balanced on the cup she is drinking from. It drives Nanny and Todd crazy:) On a sunny day, she can be seen riding her scooter to meet her best friend Diego on the tennis courts. Although she has her helmet on, she is usually in one of her favorite skorts with silver Mary Janes on her feet and big bow in her hair. She is obsessed with My Little Ponies, Bubble Guppies, and Dino Dan. She prefers picking out her own clothes with matching accessories, has started reading and spelling 3 letter words, can swim without floaties, and can ride a bike without training wheels.

There are some days we would love to zipper her mouth shut and never answer another one of her 1,000,000 questions about life but we couldn't imagine facing each and every day without her:) Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl.
