All About Isla

This sweet, beautiful little girl has just slipped right on into our family like she was meant to be here all along!  Isla is an easygoing, peaceful baby; there's not much she has strong opinions about!

 Look at those beautiful blue eyes!

Loves:

Isla loves faces (especially big brothers'!), books, music (singing!), and being outside.  She loves her bedroom - the mural on the wall captures her attention every single time we go in there - and ceiling fans.  She loves her crib, the co sleeper, and the car seat.

Doesn't love:

Isla's not a fan of baths, her pacifier (she makes a face like she's going to gag!), and cold wipes on her bum!


I was a little nervous about going from two kids to three - this daughter of mine is making it a pretty seamless transition!

Big Brothers

There's no doubt about it... this sweet girl of ours is going to be in danger of being SO spoiled by her big brothers! They love her so much - I'm just as excited to watch their sibling relationship with her as I was with their brotherly love!

Cole requested some photos of him and his baby sister for his birthday photo shoot!

My favorite!

Pirate Party

Cole requested last year (the day after his fifth birthday party, to be exact) a Pirate Party for his sixth (!!!) birthday!  

We had so much fun planning and preparing.  Cole specifically requested people wear pirate costumes, a pirate ship cake, and a pirate pinata.  With Gram and Pap's help, we managed to meet all three requests!

Pirate family - Isla was a parrot!

Pap was an extremely realistic Captain Jack Sparrow!  Chase was a little nervous around him...

And the cake!  It turned out fantastic.

Lots of eager kiddos waiting for pinata turn:

And Ben busts it open! Perfect action shot:

"MOMMY, YOOK! CANDY!"

An incredible party!  I can't believe our little boy is six years old! And now onto planning next year's party!
