However, Isabella's favorite Christmas present came on 12-16-07 from her Aunt Mommy and Uncle Andy.....A new baby cousin!!! Bradyn Anderson Bledsoe was born at 10:05AM weighing 6 pounds 15 1/2 ounces. Izzy is so excited about her new cousin. He is a very sweet boy and what a cutie-pie!!!!

Isabella made this Christmas extra special for us all!! She was such a good girl that Santa brought her a Barbie Car with a life size SPONGE BOB at the wheel!

The party was a success!! Thanks to all of you that helped so much, especially Aunt Trina and Aunt TJ. They both stayed with me the night before to help with cooking and decorating!!

And the cake eating began!! She was a little unsure at first, but managed to completely cover herself with her little cake that mommy made her!!

Complete with the "picture" perfect princess cake and decorated high chair, my princess was finally ready for her big first cake eating event!!

Isabella's party was a blast. She was the life of the party! Her outfit (which did not stay on long) was a full-length princess dress complete with sash, wand and tiara!!

I have been a very bad mommy blogger the last few months, so I have lots to show all of you!! Isabella turned one year old September 27. Her Dad and I threw her a HUGE blowout!!

Chuck-E-Cheese was fun for the whole family, Izzy could not get enough!!! I can't believe how big she is getting. Look how curious she is. She has got to be the most amazing creature on the planet!!!

Watch out!! Still in diapers and already driving!!

Now, how do I drive this thing??? Izzy rode the red bus at least a dozen times. It sang one of her favorite sons (wheels on the bus). She even tried to hum along!!

Giddy up!

Isabella got to ride the rides:)). This Barney car was one of her favorites.

Izzy at the show. She just got over her first sick spell, and was really enjoying a night on the town with mommy and daddy.

Uncle Charlie even came to see Isabella on the beach. She was very excited to see him and enjoyed playing with his ears. He even bought her first seashell box and collected many treasures for her!!!

Izzy getting loaded up to leave on her first family vacation to Gulf Shores! You can tell by her smile how excited she was!!

Izzy sure does love her daddy!! She was the cutest baby on the beach (on the planet for that matter):)!!!

Look at the big crab I caught Mom!!

This is one of Isabella's favorite toys, mommy reads this book to her all the time and when mommy is not reading it to her - she prefers to chew on it!


















Isabella sleeping with her pappy, she will always go to sleep when pappy is holding and rocking her - she loves her pappy very much.

Big Girl!!

Isabella is really wanting and trying to crawl these days -she has almost gotten the hang of it!













Isabella loves to eat - however, she loves it even more when it is all over her face. If we feed her something she really likes - she says "mmmm" while she is eating!
