My little Girl Turns 1

I can't believe Izzy has turned one! It's amazing how it all happens at the blink of an eye. One year ago today (in August) We were loving life with walking along the beach in the hot summer sun. I remember I just needed to get out so I didn't care how hot it was. It was still beautiful. And Izzy would just sweat in her car seat in the stroller :). She is the light of my life and I don't know what I would do without her. Here are some of the things as of late...

She loves:

- Willie our dog. Pets him any chance she gets

- standing up holding on to things

- getting in to things such as cupboards, strollers, laundry baskets, etc

- laughing

-when Dad comes home

- seeing kids playing on the street (she gets so lonely with just me!)

- THE WATER!! wow does she love the ocean or the pool. She just gets giddy!

- beach balls

- keys, jewelry, and shiny things

She just started:

- tantrums! Aren't those fun...

- screaming when she wants something, drops something or when I say "no izzy"

- animals and animal sounds

here is the best one... she just started hugging me. It is my most favorite thing in the world. If I just say "oh izzy" She puts her arms around my neck and rests her little head on my shoulder. Melts my heart:)

These are some pictures we took when she was 9 months in April in Florida before we left. My cute friend Brittany is an amazing photographer! We were lucky enough to be in Fl with her!

So I should have saved this for the bottom of the post, but this was at the end of the session... she was so tired!

The one on the right is such an izzy smile. I love it

So let me just say that we got there and took Izzy's pictures first while we could get her to still cooperate... and she did such a great job! Well 90 degrees + humidity + Jeff and I running around didn't go great with my looks. So the ones of Jeff and Izzy are seriously my favorite. But we got a few of Izzy and I resting (like the one above) and I love it because that's just a still shot of a mom and her daughter. What we do best!

I love Izzy in this... so darling. Don't you love the background in some of these? We have some others that I didn't post but it was such a beautiful day on Miami Beach (where they were taken). We were so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

Thank you Brittany for such amazing pictures of my little girl!
