My birthday girl x

Just some pictures today as it's little Isabella's birthday - 2 today! As ever, I feel emotional and teary whenever it is one of the troop's birthday as I think back to when they were born, that mixture of excitment and fear and hormones...ahh, the hormones! Well, I know they have been on here before but here they are again - my own George Clooney




Me and my girl (golly, I look all nose!!!)




Mamma and Dadda (which is what she calls us!)





And at various points of Cornwall, six other children were waiting for a call to tell them what they had - baby brother or baby sister; they were most happy with the result!

And then she grew



and grew



and then her first birthday came around




and she carried on growing until she reached her 2nd birthday










Typically poor shots of the wriggly worm but at least it proves I did finish her dress, albeit at 1.30 this morning - yawn!!! Not meant to be worn over a vest and the shirring is a bit wobbly but hey...

Happy Birthday my darling girl xxx

    A very 'habby' birthday to Isabella - gosh, you could eat her, couldn't you? (That probably doesn't sound right in cyberspace but you know what I mean.)

    Happy birthday Isabella, she surely is a beautiful child. I adore the ringlets, Tom had them, long blonde curls that I allowed to tumble down his back, until the nasty teacher at nursery school said 'the children were confused, they didn't whether he was a boy or girl. I had to get his Cavalier mop shorn :( I would post a photo, but he is 20 now and I don't think he would appreciate it!

    Have a wonderful weekend Pip xx

    What a scrumptious child, def could eat her up with a spoon!

    She looks like you in one of those photos Pipany, but with a smaller button nose!

    Hope you all have a lovely day with your charming 2 year old. x

    My mother would be delighted that such a beautiful little person has the same name as her there is only 84 years between them!
    Happy Birthday.
    Love Blossom

    Hope you had a lovely birthday yesterday little Isabella. x
    hope your parents are recovering today from all the excitement. Children are a gift indeed. She looks so cute but with a good dollop of spirit. The dress is lovely Pipany ...hope you get to bed earlier tonight though.
    warm wishes

    Ah, bless, what a GORGEOUS little girl Isabella is, and beautiful mass of dark curls. The dress you made for her is lovely Pipany, you are so clever, I adore anything floral.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY Isabella.
