This morning Izzie cried for milk after 2.5 hours. She finished the bottle pretty fast and it was time for a burp. She made a bit of noise and burped very soon accompanied by a spit up. The milk hit my face and flowed into my tee. A lot of it, it felt. Eeeuuu Izzie, why must you do that to mommy? And I caught her smiling to herself. *sweat*
Izzie turns 2 months old on Monday. Looking back, she has grown indeed. She has grown chubbier, longer and more mature. Her feeding is more coordinated now, she used to get breathless while sucking the teat on the milk bottle. She has lesser hiccups and recently she sleeps tighter especially after 2pm. She is starting to grab things with her fingers. She has recently graduated from using newborn diapers to S size diapers. We are proud of Izzie’s progress.
I am starting to miss Izzie. I miss her ooooo facial expression that she used to do when she was younger. I notice she smiles to herself more often now.
I also miss the times she moved when I was pregnant with her… She is one active baby! The nurses have to adjust the CTG monitor on me very often while on CTG monitoring because she often moved after from the monitor. She moves as much, if not more, now. 🙂
I love my baby Izzie.
She melts my heart.
I have always enjoyed mid autumn festival because I get to eat my favorite mooncakes. When I was younger, we would go to our maternal grandparents’ house and the whole extended family would get together to celebrate the festival. The adults would do their adult things, drink tea and chat while the kids would be outside playing with lanterns and candles and sparklers. Oh how I love playing as a kid especially with sparklers because they are so beautiful.
Today I went back to my mom’s place for dinner after a good 3 months. It was an awesome time with the family with the addition of Isabel. My mom cooked wonderful dishes and we got to eat mooncakes and pomelo and drank tea. Izzie was asleep throughout. Haha. 🙂 She received lovely presents from uncle Jervis. I must say this little cousin I have have really grown up to be a fine young man! I am so proud of him. 🙂
My parents with Izzie. Looking at it makes me feel good that Isabel has great grandparents who shower her with love. Yet I also realize my parents are getting older and I need to treasure them and love them while they are still around. I am abundantly blessed to belong to this family.
