Well, two days after Makenna came home, Isabelle joined her! 

 

Isabelle was our healthiest baby at birth.  She had no brain bleeds, no staph infection, no issues other than learning to breath on her own, eat, and grow.  The drs predicted that she would be the first of the three to come home!   However, Issy suffered from what the NICU nurses called Wimpy White Boy Syndrome (WWBS).  WWBS is a joking term used to describe the fact that white males do the worst of all kids in the NICU.  So any baby that  is lazy can be labeled a WWBS.  Issy was LAZY!  She should have come home from the NICU probably 2 to 3 weeks before she did.  The only reason she did not was because she was too lazy to stay awake! 

 

We should have realized then that Isabelle works on her one time frame and schedule! 

 

 

Isabelle is without a doubt our FIRST born!  She is the leader of the group!  However, she leads by command not by action!  Isabelle will not try anything first, but she will tell Makenna and Alyssa to do it!  She is at times scared of new things!  She wants to be brave, but she is not by nature!  However, once she is pushed into it, she will do anything and love it!  She will try new foods, but only on her own time (meaning momma has to have it and pretend not to want to share it with her!) 

 

 

When Isabelle was a baby, she was completely and totally a Nana's girl!  However, in the last year, she has become a daddy's girl!  She loves her daddy so much!  She wants to be with him at all times.  She will cuddle with him and is the only girl of the three who can sleep all night in the same bed with daddy snoring!  LOL! 

 

Isabelle makes the funniest faces ever!  She still can't blow bubbles or blow out candles!  But it is so cute how hard she tries!  She loves to read and write with pens.  She is the best of the three at gymnastics, because she has the best balance.   Like Makenna, Isabelle LOVES school!  She is so happy to go and would go everyday if we would let her! 

 

Isabelle is very possesive of her color!  She will tell you its Issy's Green!  She doesn't like for anyone else to use her color, wear her color, or even attempt to color with her color!  It is too funny to see her need even at 3 to have things that are completely her own!  This year she even went to the Beach with her daddy for 11 days without her sisters!  She did amazing and really relished in the one or one time with her daddy! 

 

Issy is our Big Girl and she loves this role! 

 

She is our first to completely potty train during the day. 

 

She is our leader. 

 

She is our tattle tale (which MOMMA loves!)

 

She is our bossy triplet

 

She is our learner

 

She is our Isabelle!
