The Cousins!

Hubbys Sister is over from Dubai with their daughter who is 4 months younger than Isabella. They are always smiling and touching each other, its so cute. Isabella's cousins doesn't walk or crawl yet, she is taking her time! Whilst Ms Wong is walking, climbing! And running around. So she tries to play but her cousin cant as yet! But they are same size and it will be lovely to see them grow up together. The photograph was taken at Dim Sum on Saturday.

On Sunday we tried out the baby jogger for the first time. Isabella loved it, luckily but its hard work running and pushing, as you cant move your arms as you do normally when you run. But we did manage to run 3.5 miles. I am sure we can build up the distances and Isabella loves to be pushed fast and the faster you go the more she giggles and sings to herself! I might try a solo run for a couple of miles tomorrow!



Everyday Isabella's confidence grows. Its feels like she has always been part of our family, and its hard to imagine life without her. We have now mastered the stroller, car seat, high chair! But our only problems are night time. She still will only fall asleep cuddling me, and that's fine as she does fall asleep within about 15 minutes of lying on the bed. I then normally leave her on the bed and move her into the cot when she is in a deep sleep. She wakes up around 1.30-2.00 AM and will only stop crying if she comes into our bed when she will wrap her arms and legs around me and fall asleep again until around 6.30-7.00 Am for her bottle and then sleeps until after 09.00 hrs. I am sure that it will improve in time. We don't know what previous experiences she has had of being left in a cot alone.

Yesterday Ms Wong was registered with our GP and we have an appointment next week. I still wanted to give her a bit longer to settle before meeting medcial people! We see our GP next Friday and then on the Monday I will take her to meet the Health Visitor!
