Sixteen years ago today we welcomed Bella into our family with open hearts. We knew we were having a girl; in a million years you couldn't have prepared me for the type of kid she would be. Hilarious. Compassionate. Friendly. Chatty. VERY chatty. Inquisitive. Sensitive. Beautiful...despite being mine. Outrageous. Talented.

It took me hours and hours and hours to go through hundreds of pictures. Life became much easier with the advent of the digital camera. All the prints needed to be scanned and I started to lose my mind.

I stuck with pictures of Bella and what makes her unique. There are many pictures of her with Peter. They have been a team since the day we brought her home.

Looking through all the pictures was a splendid experience. I hadn't looked at most of these pictures in a long time. I love seeing how much she has changed while remaining exactly the same.

Happy, HAPPY Birthday to my darling Isabella. Bella Girl. Bell. Bells. Izzy-Bee. IZ-a-ba-leeta (Uncle Tom). Iz. You are one of the most fantastic people I know and I am thrilled to be your mama.

May every year continue to be filled with wonder, laughter, joy and great adventures. 

I love you to the moon and back!

"Watch out for that girl. 
One day she may change the world."

Years ago, I heard when Chrissie Hynde sang this song, she sang it to her daughter. I loved that. And so, to my darling girl, I will stand by you. No matter what.
