A Sentimental Kind of Week

This week has been a little rough, sentimentally speaking. Early Monday morning (3 am) was the last time I nursed Isabella. She is now officially weened. Also this week, she began to pull herself up on things and let go, allowing herself to stand alone. For her birthday, which is in less than 2 days, we got her a big girl, forward facing car seat. She's also been saying a few words as well. It's hard to believe how quickly this year has passed. I mean it has zoomed by. I feel that with every little girl I've had, time goes faster and faster...this year has just been ridiculous though.

I made a 1st birthday outfit for Isabella to wear to her birthday dinner with friends and family on Sunday. I will definitely post pictures soon. I wanted to do something special for her since I won't be able to throw a big old birthday party for her like I did for her sisters. I am bummed about that. I know that she will never remember the party, but it's just one of those special things I enjoyed doing for the girls. I figured in place of a party, I would put the time into making her little outfit. It's cute and I'm excited about it...next year we'll do a party...2nd birthday parties around here always get a "favorite character" cake made by mommy. For Malia it was Dora and for Pressley it was Tinkerbell. Hopefully Isabella's obsession at 2 won't be too hard to make.

Anyway...so crazy that she's going to be 1 so soon. It's gone way to fast, and I'm sure will continue to do so. How I wish I had a pause (and sometimes rewind) button!
