A Year of Isabelle: in Pictures

Never in my life have I taken as many pictures as I have in the last 50 weeks since Isabelle's arrival! I have heard it said many times that you take thousands of your first born, and hardly any of the poor babies who come next, so I am definitely living up to the first part. Thank heavens for the invention of the camera phone, which has allowed me to capture some of my favorite times with isabelle at the drop of a hat. No, they aren't the best pictures you'll ever see, but it's the hundreds of iPhone photos I have of Isabelle which are definitely my favorite.
As we are closing in on her birthday I find myself looking back at the pictures, and marvelling at how this time last year she was still in my tummy, as I rapidly approached - and then passed - my due date. As part of my birthday celebrations for Isabelle, here are some pictures documenting the last 12 months of Isabelle...it's worth a look just to marvel at her hair's progress! **warning: photo overload!**
