Cybex Topaz

Hubby bought a new pram for Isabelle. He has done so much research on this brand and model and been waiting to get one since before Chinese New Year. Only until last week he finally got the pram from Baby Kingdom for RM799. Apparently Cybex is an award winning brand for best stroller :P

It was Isabelle's first time getting on this pram so I dressed her in red matching the pram's color :)

See how Isabelle blends in so well into the pram. Can hardly see her if it's not her beanie so stand out muahahaha

Looks like she's enjoying her new ride and getting comfortable in it

I put on another beanie on Isabelle to see if it looks nice on her. See how naughty she is. She pulled the beanie and now covered her eyes kekeke.

And this is how Isabelle looks without wearing a beanie.

Isabelle New Hair Style

Belle has her first new hair style when she's 4 months 21 days old. Now she officially look more like a baby boy. Her hair were falling so much until certain part of her head looks bald. So I decided to have her hair shaved so that her hair will grow evenly. Now she look like a lil monk :D

In another 1 weeks time Isabelle is going to be 5 months old. Time flies. Still remember the confinement days when Isabelle is still so small size. Now she's learning how to flip and turn on her tummy. Soon she will be crawling around and my days is going to me more tired chasing her.

Isabelle's Development in 4 months old :

Lift leg up and hands pull her feet to her mouth

Hold, take and put pacifier into her mouth

Now a days she can also flip and turn on her tummy but ofcause she still need some help from us to give her a little push. Her arms are not strong enough yet to push herself up and support her own weight.

Sadly, Isabelle still can't sleep through the night not waking. Every night, she will wake for maybe 3 or 4 times and she can't fall back to sleep on her own. I will need to get up, give her the pacifier and pat her to sleep. Sometimes even with the pacifier, she kind of have difficulty falling back to sleep. Her eyes is close but she keeps twisting, moving and can't settle to sleep. I'm very curious why is this happening. Is she hungry, wet diaper or just a habit. How I wish very soon she can sleep through the night without waking until next morning.

Hands & Legs

At 4 months old, Isabelle can now lift her hand and reach the musical toy hanging on her favourite rocker chair. She don't need mommy or daddy to help her pull for the music anymore. Good Job Isabelle! She has now reached another development milestone.

I think Isabelle has also discovered her own legs recently. Started yesterday, she always have her legs lifted up to her chest so that her hands can reach and grab her feet. Now when I have to change diaper for her, is getting more challenging cause I will always have to pull her legs down and push her hands away so that I can put on the diaper properly. Oh no, very soon Isabelle will know how to grab her feet and start putting her feet into her mouth. Faint !

3 months 26 days

Time flies. Isabelle is going to be 4 months old come 24th Jan. In another months time I will have to start her on solids. Need to do more research and homework on what kind of solid food to give her for a start.

Isabelle can lift her head high enough when she's on her tummy position. But she haven't yet learned to roll over on her own. I have to help to flip her over every time to let her practice to be on her tummy. Hmmm.. I wonder when will she start crawling.

Here's a photo of Daniel & Isabelle together lying side by side. Belle is 1 month older than Daniel. Look, Belle is crying but yet Daniel looks so cool. Not bothered by Belle's crying at all. He's probably whispering in his mind saying "Why do girls always have to cry" Hahahaha. So cute.

This is Belle in her spaghetti strap dress i bought for her before she was born. First time wearing it and I think she likes it already. Sexy.

Talkative Baby

Isabelle at 3 months 2 weeks

Belle Belle nowadays can be very talkative. Yesterday we manage to capture a video of her going on and on talking in her baby language. She is so cute and funny especially with her face expression. I wonder what she was trying to tell me. Wouldn't it be nice if we are able to decipher baby's language and understand what they are trying to tell us :)

The other day hubby got the car seat out from the room and getting it fix up for Isabelle in his car. He put Isabelle on the seat to test test. She looks so cute on her car seat. I like this photo so much.

Big swollen blister

Yesterday evening picked up Isabelle from babysitter house. When I reach home and was trying to change her diaper, I notice on her left leg there is a huge red swollen path. It looks scary, the skin on the red patch was dry and it looks like as though she got a burn or something. The skin looks lacy. But it also looks like an insect bite but if it's really an insect bite, this bloody insect is really poisonous. Later the night I notice a blister popping out from that red swollen patch. In the beginning is just a small blister but towards mid-night when I check on her leg again, size of the blister grew bigger. This is so scary. The red swollen area has also spread and became bigger. This morning we quickly bring Isabelle to her pead. Paediatrician says it might be bacteria infection on her skin or it might be insect bite. She gave us an ointment to be applied on Isabelle's leg and also an antibiotic for her to drink so that internally it helps her to fight the bacteria and all.

I have been thinking very hard how Isabelle got her skin infected or even where did the insect come from. Isabelle has just recovered from her fever and throat ulcer a week ago and now she has got this skin problem. She has to go through so many sickness and challenges and she's only 3 months old. :(

Isabelle is sick again

Isabelle is down with fever the night before yesterday. This is her 2nd time fever. This time her fever lasted for 2 days. Thank god finally her fever is off today. But Isabelle was still very cranky and cries every time when we put her down. We had to take turns carry her so that she doesn't feel in pain. She had runny nose and she didn't want to take her milk. We took her to pead this morning and doctor found out that Isabelle has an ulcer at the back of her throat. Feels so sorry for Isabelle. He fell sick partly because of me. My cough and flu virus infected her. I really hope Isabelle will recover very soon. Really hate to see her in pain especially when she cries.
