Isabelle please...
...stop kicking, smacking, scratching and pinching Mommy! You are such a violent sleeper. Pulling hair is also not very nice. And one last thing, biting Mommy while nursing is going to lead you to the bottle route in record time. So stop your nonsense!

Here We Go Again...
Oh gosh, are you going through another growth spurt, Isabelle? Or are you just extra clingy because you are sick? Whatever it is, you are nursing around the clock like CRAZY! These past couple of days, you nurse every 1.5 hours during the day and every 2 hours at night. Mommy is DESTROYED! Well, at least you are sleeping soundly on the family bed right now at 9:30 a.m., while Mommy is doing some work! Oh yes, we are back in the family bed because Mommy cannot keep on picking you up from the crib and putting you back every 2 hours. When you start squirming, Mommy just rolls over and nurse you...which works out quite well because sometimes Mommy rolls over on you and quiet you up!! Just kidding, baby!
We went for your hip ultrasound yesterday. You were being nice and quiet when the tech did your first hip but quickly got bored when he turned you over to do the second hip. That was when you started with your soft protesting cry. And when he didn't hurry up and finish, you busted out in your crazy cry. Everyone at the imaging center could hear you. When we walked out of our examination room, all the nurses and office staff were surprised to see that all that ruckus was made by someone so small.
We got the results back from Dr. Scott this afternoon and they are normal! Dr. Scott and his office personnel are so reliable and professional. We can't wait to see him again at the end of the month for your 4-month wellness check-up. We will weigh you then because you don't fit on our postal scale anymore!
Love, Mom

Happy 15 week birthday!
Happy 15 week birthday! Did I hear you say your first word??? Seems like maybe your first word might be "Bye!" I think you had enough of paparazzi Mommy and her camera...and told me "bye" so I could shut it off.
You have expensive taste and I feel sorry for your Daddy! You have always liked Mommy's Tiffany & Co. Atlas necklace and play with it whenever you nurse...but it seems nowadays, you just hold on to it for dear life, even when sleeping! Daddy will get you your own when you are older!
You are still coughing like an old man...Mommy hopes you get better soon!
Love, Mom
At around 1:38 mins...Isabelle says "BYE!" right before Mommy said "bye".

Poor Little Sick Baby
Dear Isabelle,
Today is your first sick visit to the doctor. My poor baby, you came down with a minor cold. Last night you didn't sleep well at all. You have a slight cough and a congested nasal passage.
We went to see your new pediatrician today. He is Dr. Scott Cohen, from Beverly Hills Pediatrics. You were so good at your appointment despite being sick. You were all smiles when you saw him and Dr. Scott was so gentle with you. He was very thorough with your examination, we like him alot! He recommended that you sleep on an incline and we use a vaporizer in our room.
After finding out that you were breech when born, Dr. Scott recommended we go for a hip ultrasound to check your hips for any sign of hip dysplasia. Apparently there is a very small probability for breech baby girls to have it so we want to make sure your hips are fine. He manually checked your hips and said they felt normal. We are glad that we switched pediatricians and are able to make this ultrasound before you turn 4 months. We will be scheduling that appointment soon.
I hope you feel better soon, baby!
Love, Mom

First Week Home
Dear Isabelle,
Our first week home by ourselves have been busy trying to get back into some sort of schedule. We were in a little routine before we left for Vancouver, but once we got there, the schedule went out of the door. Partly because we were on vacation and also because you went through a growth spurt which threw your whole sleeping times out of whack.
So now we are home, we have been doing almost the same routine everyday. You are usually out for the night by 9 p.m. and wake between 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. You feed every 3 hours and have naps at around 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Mommy also has to find lots of things to entertain you with because you have more awake/alert time nowadays. We sing together, read books, take Zoë out for walks, have massages, tummy time and baths! You are always smiling now...and it melts Mommy's heart whenever I catch you looking around the room for me and when you find me, you break out in a wide, open-mouthed smile!
Love, Mom

Happy 14 week birthday!
Dear Isabelle,
14 weeks has passed since you entered this world and boy, what a difference time has made!
You've learned a few things while in Vancouver. You recognize people more and always want to be carried by familiar people. Your hand-eye coordination is getting better and better and once in a while, you will grab things that are given to you and start putting them into your mouth. You are also starting to imitate people more now. You have started to move your fingers when waved to, and Uncle Justin has thought you how to head-bop!
Your baby babble has developed tremendously and you express yourself so much more differently than a few weeks ago. You have added a couple of new "cries" in your repertoire! You now have the demanding cry accompanied by your body arch and tense limbs—this cry really scares Ah Kong! And the other addition is the quiet cry, you produce this cry as a precedent to the demanding cry when making your demands.
You seem to be quite interested in what Mommy and Daddy are eating during our meals. You stare intently at our food and drool a lot more. Sometimes you even smack your lips! Ah Kong gave you a cookie the other day, you immediately brought it close to your mouth and gave it a lick! If Mommy didn't take it away from you, you would have probably munched it down!
Oh yah, and Mommy has taught you how to read on your own...hahaha
And oh, we are Hollywood famous!
We love seeing you develop...every week, you always come up with something new!
Love, Mom

Back to Life, Back to Reality...
Dear Isabelle,
We are leaving Vancouver and going back home. It was a great trip, although we stayed 3 weeks, it seemed too short! We are going to miss Ah Ma, Ah Kong and Godma. They have been a great help to Mommy. You enjoyed the daily conversations you had with Ah Ma, the songs sung by Ah Kong, all the crazy fun you had and even being put to sleep by Godma! They have seen you develop so much in the past 3 weeks. The next time they see you, you will be all different again!
Now we are going back to just you and I, kiddo! In a month, Godma and Uncle Justin are coming to visit us!
Love, Mom
