It was a fantastic day, yet another to remind us how incredibly blessed and lucky we are. Isla took center stage when we brought out her birthday cupcakes and about twenty-five friends from all over the world sang her happy birthday. After reading our new books and eating cinnamon rolls, we hit up the beach with our friends where there was an Easter egg hunt, water balloons and treats. She awoke and greeted us with her beaming smile and we brought her back into bed with us to open a few presents that were sent from loved ones with Grandma Sue. She makes being a mama and pappa easy.Ĭoinciding with Easter, her first birthday was definitely one for the books and turned into quite the party. Her smile lights up a room and in one short year, she has changed our lives for the better. She's talking up a storm of gibberish and while it's not quite intelligible, it's clear she has a lot to say.
Her balance is incredible, which is no surprise considering our home is constantly bobbing around and while we can't be sure, we feel pretty confident that she'll be athletic. She is crazy active: walking up a storm, climbing like a monkey, and even attempting to jump from time to time.

She's already full of personality squishing her nose and blowing in and out to make us laugh, gently sharing food with us and friends, giggling with her whole belly when we say "cock-a-doodle-doo" and her love of cuddles continues to melt my heart. If there is one word I could use to describe little Isla it would be happy. I can say without hesitation that this has been the most fantastic year of my life and each and every day my mind is blown and my world is brightened by this little person we created. I know you are all with me when I wonder where the heck this past year went, but here we are: parents of a one year old. Our sweet Isla turned one year old yesterday.
