How can it be.... our baby is 3!

 Yep, that's right Isabelle today you turn three.

Its hard for mom to believe you are such a big girl.

As I look into your beautiful blue eyes and are blessed by your contagious smile, I see its true.

You're turning into such a big girl, right in front of my eyes.

You are such a happy child, with a laugh that always causes more....

You've perfected the "cheeze" smile with a grit of your teeth and the clench of your fists.

Your zest for life is heart-warming, with curiosity that never sleeps.

Where once I saw a little baby, I now see a little girl.  

Isabelle, you are smart, funny, caring and loving.  Just some of the many reasons why you are loved so much.

As I look at this picture, I can't believe how tall you are.  Those legs don't seem to end! Mom wishes for your height.  

I don't know if you know this or not, but at night when we sit, rock in the chair and read together, I often gaze into your eye lashes, I study your cheeks and those beautiful lips.  I try to capture your innocence, your beauty, who you are now, so I never forget just how you looked at each and every age.

You've become such a talkative little girl who loves to sing songs, tell stories and talk about ANYTHING Frozen!

I love your expressions, for they are always big and your emotions clear.  Whether its saying hi to a bird in the sky (see above), so singing your songs, always clear, always big, always a blessing.

Isabelle, as you turn three, I look forward to seeing you grow, to watching you learn new things and to sharing more and more of who you are with us.

I hope you always look at life with the same zest you have now.

I hope you never loose your sense of wonder.

And I hope you always know how much you are loved.  

We wish you the happiest 3rd birthday and a wonderful year.

Let the world celebrate---- for now you are three!

Until next time,
Angie
