Birthday Girl

Isabel turns 2 today!!

Two already???

She is so big... yet she is my baby.

She still asks me to nurse like a mad woman, she still wears a diaper, she doesn't even talk yet... like we've heard her say things before and she won't say it again!

She still sleeps with us.

She is super bossy, everything has to be her way or the highway.

She gets so mad sometimes all she wants to do is pinch you so hard so you'll hurt.

I guess this was supposed to be all goo things :S

Don't you just love babies???

She is hilarious!

It is all the little things, the gestures on her face, the times when she grabs my bag and puts on my shoes ( the tallest high heels she can find) and waves goodbye and blows kisses and says bye-bye! The times she comes to the bathroom with me so she can sit on my lap when I do my business, or when she pretends to put on make up and says: guapa!

How she loooves shoes, the look on her face when she's doing something she's not supposed to, or when she finds something hilarious on the tv and starts laughing and tries to tell you what it is in her baby talk. Or when she says LOO for look!, or when her hair is all over her eyes and she has to look up to be able to see you. The times when she'll just start singing her made up songs that are so cute. Or when she is sad and you hug her she'll pat your back.

I love to cuddle with her little soft squishy body.

I am so happy I had her.

With her, and because of her, I've learned that I love to be a mother. That there is nothing else I'd rather do.

I struggled before with the thoughts of going to school, or work, or even just do things for me just for fun... but no. I want to be the mother of my kids. They are my happiness.

And with them I feel complete.

Everything else has moved down the list of my interests.

That's what happens when you're in love.... and I am in LOVE!

I've been in love with them even before they were born!

Happy Birthday to my dear Isabel...

I hope to celebrate many more by your side!
