Third time's a charm...

...and Isabella is a charmer.  I am not saying by ANY means that her two older sisters are anything but charming.  They were as babies, and continue to charm the socks off me. But there is just something about this darling, fat little baby that makes me want to squeeze her to pieces. Good-natured, pleasant, and beautiful to look at.  Her favorite toy is her big sister Lydia, who can bring giggles out of her just by entering the room.   Favorite food?  Mommy's milk.  Favorite hobby?  Scooting around on the floor looking for bits of whatever to put in her mouth.   Nicknames:  Bella, b-bella, Isa, Bella bella bella, Queen of the cutes (Lydia and Molly are Queens of the Beautifuls and of the Lovelies, in that order, according to Lydia), Quisa, and countless others.

Broke my heart to leave her, especially knowing she will be 18 months old the next time we see her, and we will have to reintroduce ourselves all over again.  Knowing Isabella, she will make that very easy.

I know this is blurry, but so adorable...
