isla louise, one whole hand old

was it five whole years ago now that this big baby girl was born in the wee hours of labor day?  with her strawberry blonde hair and her big blue eyes?

hard to believe.

what's most surprising to me is how little we knew back then about who isla louise was going to become.  i think honestly i thought she would be a girl version of noah!  but they are so different.  she is so... all her own.  she is a character!  she is funny and wild and brazen and sweet and inquisitive and creative and really understands how the world works.  

i just love to look at her rosy, freckled cheeks and sweet smile.

things isla loves:

dressing up fancy
pink and purple
crafting, crafting, crafting
reading, reading, reading
making ezzie laugh
helping in the kitchen
helping daddy in the shop
going on any kind of adventure with daddy
singing and dancing
playdates with friends
writing and receiving letters
shopping with grandma
posing in funny ways
folding laundry
learning how things work and how things are made
watching videos of herself

things isla does not love:

going to the doctor
dogs, cats, and most animals
most vegetables
getting her hair washed or brushed
getting splinters removed
putting her head under water
the color black

happy birthday to this amazing little girl!
