Milo's Birthday

A week ago we went to visit Isla's friend Milo for his first birthday party. They were just like old pals, sharing sippy cups and hugging each other. So cute! Isla loved the water and the sand. Her favorite activity was chasing sandpipers. It was hilarious watching her run after them yelling with her arms in the air. Wish I had it on video for you all to see, but sometimes you have to leave the technology behind and just enjoy being in the moment.

Our trip to the Mountains

We (Isla, Karri, and I) took a little road trip to Hendersonville, NC to spend some time with "Aunt Carmie". While we were there we went on short hike around Jump Off Rock.

Here we are

I have my new computer and all of my photos loaded so keeping this thing up-to-date should be a bit easier. Isla's doing great, walking, running, talking, singing and dancing. Always on the go, always entertaining. Here are some photos from the past month. Starting with Easter.

Random Photos

Here are a few more for the day. Isla is doing great, she had her 1 year check up today and everything went well. 22lbs, 33 inches (tall!). She's walking everywhere, getting into everything and never seems to tire.

Reading about animals - two of her favorite things.

Being a happy girl. This is a face I am blessed to see
many times a day. She is a complete joy.

New Photos....finally

Oh, look! Mommy finally put up my birthday pictures!

So I found my camera cord and have a couple of photos to show you from Isla's birthday party on February 5th (Actual bday is Feb 6th). It's so hard to believe that she is a year old. She's doing great. Walking some, talking, dancing and singing. Her favorite word is "dog". Everything with fur and even some inanimate things are always "dog, dog, dog". Mama, Daddy, Du-in (Dublin), Ga (Gus), Kawe (Karri) are some other words she says. She has dance moves similar to that of Stevie Wonder playing the piano and she sings a lovely little tune, nose scrunched - she really gets into it. And, thanks to Aunt Karri, we may have a Bieber fan on our hands. Enjoy the pics!
