Isabel Alexandra is our baby. The having babies part of my life is over (thanks doc!) so she will always be the baby.




*****




We call her Bizzy because she NEVER stops moving.













She loves to cuddle and gives THE BEST squishy kisses.








Sometimes, it's easy to forget that she's a girlie girl. She's rough and she's tough - hardcore is the perfect word for Bizzy but she loves to dress up and dance and sing and twirl and she LOVES to have her toesies painted.




*****




She's funny and silly and bright as a button. She's been singing her ABCs since she was 14 months old and can easily count to 17.










She doesn't like it when I'm not happy.... Especially when she poops on the floor - this is her latest thing and not fun for anyone involved.





*****





I see angels in her face. That pretty, cute, adorable, love buggy face.





*****





She has her own angel. Her name is Edna (not a pretty name, I know) and she was my father's Aunt. I truly believe that she watches over Bizzy. Although, i'm not sure why.





*****





Everyone - even strangers - thinks it's OK to touch her hair. Although it's not completely OK, I am flattered that they admire her cuteness and I can definitely appreciate their taste in cute kids. Isabel doesn't care either way but is very patient with everyone.





*****





Her favorite place to be in the whole wide world, is home.











Isabel is more guarded than her siblings. It can take a while for her to relax and be your friend. Once she has relaxed, she's your friend forever and welcomes you in like an eager puppy.






She is extremely determined and doesn't stop until she gets what she wants - Even if that means stacking the stepping stools on top of the dining chairs, on top of her sister just to get to the cookie jar!





*****





She's a real talker. But only around people she's comfortable with - many people think that she hardly makes a noise.
Here is an example of a regular conversation between me and Isabel - this is just from the other night....



Isabel: "I'm going to play school tonight."
Me: "Oh, yeah? Who you gonna play with?"
Isabel: "Chicken Nuggets."



She's funny.
