Three's Company

Not only did Isabella turn the big 0-3 on April 8th, her Papa turned the big 6-0!

At 3 years old, her stats are as follows:

Height: 34 1/2" (although I think she's taller - she wouldn't stand up straight)
Weight: 26.5 lbs.
Size: 2T (finally)

What a birthday she had this year. On her actual birthday we went to Tot Shabbat where they sang her Happy Birthday both in the classroom and in the service. The week before she'd been shopping with her Aunt Fonda (also an April 8th birthday) and her cousin Carlye. She was allowed to pick any outfit/dress she wanted. Boy did she take full advantage. She picked an adorable dress with a matching bracelet and bow. Convincing her to save it for her birthday was virtually impossible. She put it on a couple of times, but fortunately managed to keep it pristine until her actual birthday. Needless to say, she wore it to school for her birthday. Her Daddy even surprised her by making an appearance at Tot Shabbat. She was SO surprised and excited when he walked in. It was adorable. Here are some photos and a short video from her actual birthday:





Isabella's party was the following Saturday because we decided it would be easier for us (and for all of our traveling family) to have her party and Madeline's Naming the same weekend. She had a "Disney" themed party and she dressed as Cinderella. Unfortunately, she was one of only 3 people that actually dressed up (even though it was written on the invitation). Oh well, she looked adorable. It took her until about 20 minutes until the end of the party to stop being shy and interact with people. Better late than never, I guess. She says she had a great time, so I'll have to trust her on that one.

Here are some photos and video from the party as well:
