Happy Birthday Little Lovey!!

Isabel is one year old tomorrow. I cannot believe how quickly time has passed and how much she has changed. I am thrilled at every stage of her development, but part of me wants her to just slow down and be my cuddly baby a little longer. However it is hard to be too sad when she is learning new things every day and she is so damn cute about them! She mastered "So Big" a while ago, and says "Mama" and "Mo, mo" for food. She eats anything and everything; curry, guacamole, grilled fish and and even white chili have been her recent favorites. Some of her new tricks are saying "uh-oh", usually after she throws her cup or her food off the tray of her highchair; and clapping, which she loves to do. If someone actually says "Yaayyy" she will clap insistently and many, many times. She's walking with the walker or when she holds our hands (she will even walk with the assistance of Devin and Alex, which is adorable) but isn't confident to take more than a step (usually from the couch to me) on her own.
However, the big one came today. We have gotten in the nap time routine where Isabel cuddles in bed with Alex for a minute before she's off to her crib. After cuddles we always stand at the door and (with my assistance) she blow kisses to Alex before we go. Today as soon as she was in Alex's bed she started patting her mouth and making little 'kiss' noises with her mouth. Alex and I both were so excited!
She is a very lovey and cuddly baby (I can't yet call her a toddler) and she is truly a blessing to our family. Happy Birthday Isabel!!
