Isla's 1st Birthday - party 2 Actual birthday day

Isla celebrated her birthday on Saturday 24th March with family on our deck out the back. I couldn't resist and bought her some gorgeous fairy wings to wear for the big occasion and we even tried out some hair clips for her beautiful reddish-blond hair.

Isla was given some lovely gifts and was thought of by many on her special day - thank you for all the birthday cards!

Being the good mum I try to be, I had to make her her birthday cake in the shape of number 1 and I was so pleased that she really enjoyed it! The proof is in the pudding!

12 Things about Isla at 12 months:

3. Commando crawls
4. Can stand up by herself for short periods of time and always has her hand up for you to walk her around

6. Says Dog Dog when Buster barks next door (mind you she calls any small animal including our cat Kiai, a Dog!)
7. She leans in for Kisses
8. She starts sleeping in her room but always ends up in Mum and Dad's bed - She does not sleep through the night (longest period was 8 hours - once and once only)
9. Loves music and singing especially "Old MacDonald had a Farm" and the old classic "If you knew Suzie, like I know Suzie, Oh, Oh what a gal!"
10. Can turn pages of her books very well and only tears them occasionally - hence the move to the good old cardboard book variety
11. Eats very well ( she is currently 10.5kg!)
