Our baby is five. How did that happen? I'm sure it was only but a moment ago I was clutching this tiny girl in my arms, her skin peach-soft and beautiful, large eyes peering up at me.
It wasn't always an easy path with little Isabella - she didn't sleep and wanted to be held most/all of the time - oh lord, how tired I was!
But, as with all these things, time moved on and Isabella grew
and grew
and grew
And now? Well, she is a lively, beautiful, funny,
cuddly bundle aged five and we love her to pieces.
Happy birthday little Isabella.
We love you my sweet girl xxx
Happy Birthday Isabella. She looks a lovely little girl in spite of not sleeping!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Isabella. I always think of you as a little girl who loves to splash in the sea, as your Mummy puts up pictures of you enjoying the water at the beach! I hope your chocolate button cake was as delicious as it looks!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday from here too Isabella - have a wonderful, beautiful, special time being five.

Happy Birthday to your sweet little girl.
ReplyDeleteIt flies past so fast. My little bundle of trouble will be five in a few months time also. I can't quite believe it.
Hope she had a fantastic time celebrating her birthday.

Hope Isabella has had a wonderful day. She is starting to look like you Pip and so grown up. I have so enjoyed watching her grow over the years you have been blogging. Have a good weekend - the forecast is good for the south west. Karen X
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to Isabella for a very Happy Birthday. What a beautiful five year old she is...and we can also tell from your posts, Pipany, that she definitely has her own sense of humor.

She is perfection. I love that you can see 'her' in the newborn baby. She has just become more and more beautiful as the years go by. She is just captivating! You are a lucky lucky Mummy. But you know that. x
