Happy Birthday Izzie

My baby turned 1 today! Hard to believe she is already 1. We had a very good day today. Aaron went to work and Natalie went to school. Izzie is still recovering from her cold and ear infection so she actually spent most of her day sleeping, but we had a good quality day. In the afternoon we had presents and then dinner and then we had cake. Natalie was very excited about the presents. She kept thinking they were her presents. Izzie had fun with the balloons. She tried to open one present and then gave up. Natalie opened all of them and wanted to play with the toys immediately. Natalie sang happy birthday to Izzie. It was so cute hearing her sing to Izzie. We had chocolate cake which Natalie took a bite and said "yummy". Izzie had one bit and moved on to strawberries. I have weird kids. Natalie is just starting to like cake and she did not even finish the slice.

On a funny story yesterday I was telling Natalie that today was Izzie's birthday. But she does not really understand what that means so she was quiet. I was trying to explain it to her and told her that it was the day that Izzie came out of mommy's belly. So then I asked her if she came out of mommy's belly too and she said "no, Daddy's belly". So apparently she thinks she came out of Aaron's belly.

Here are some pictures.


Izzie and the big balloons


Her favorite gift were the balloons



Opening presents and Izzie trying to grab the balloons



While Natalie played with her new toys she took the opportunity to play with Natalie's car (and of course bring the balloons with her)


Natalie playing with the new toys. She keeps saying "mine". Should be a fun day tomorrow



Izzie driving the car, she moves the wheel and hits the horn. Her feet barely reach the bottom but she loves it.
