Happy Birthday Isabelly!

Today is our little niece Isabelle's first birthday! I can't believe my little woman is already one year old, which means, in 8 days, Mak will be turning one. It's crazy to think about a year ago when she was born. I got to be in the delivery room with Whit and my mom, and it was an amazing experience. I could tell immediately that Isabelle was going to be a very special little girl. She is so sweet and has such a funny little personality. Isabelle is totally walking and has been for at least a month. She loves teasing, and it gets her so giggly and excited when she knows she is doing something sort of naughty--just like her mama! Isabelle has acquired many nicknames during her short lifetime: Belly, Woman, Itch, and many more. In case you are wondering where Itch came from, it came from my grandma. When my grandma talks to her in baby talk, she goes: "What Itch it, Itchabelle?" (translation: "What is it Isabelle?") Isabelle's favorite thing to do right now is give kisses, especially to her favorite cousin Mak and her Uncle Dan. It's been so much fun to watch her every day and watch her and Makee grow and play together. She has brought so much joy to our family, and I am so glad Heavenly Father sent her to us. Happy Birthday, Itchy! We love you!
