A week late due to the stomach flu, but we made it. Gary was by far the most interested in his cake of all the kids in the family on their first birthdays. You didn't have to do much work to convince him to eat it!

Gary's favorite way to use the new truck.

Checking out the Christmas tree, which Mommy and Daddy wisely hid behind the couch this year.
Mommy and Daddy's standards have fallen over the last decade, and this baby is allowed to watch TV... only because he has to sit still to use the nebulizer so often. He usually watches "Shaun the Sheep," a wordless claymation spinoff of "Wallace and Gromit." Even though he usually screams whenever you give him his medicine, he loves his show and will start grinning and dancing when he hears the themesong.
My name is Isabel. When I was a baby, my parents gave me the unfortunate nickname of "Isabelly." I've since moved on to other, more sophisticated monikers, but none of them have the necessary ring for a blog title.
I recently turned six. I am learning to swim, to read, and to play the violin. I like to tell my little sister Madeline Sophie, my dog Cleo, and my parents what to do on a regular basis. They don't listen much.
My favorite activities are reading stories, making ever more elaborate craft projects, "helping" around the house, and dressing up as a princess. I recently discovered the wonders of Barbie and lip gloss.
