Christmas 2013

We've had a lovely Christmas, our first Christmas with Isabella. Andre had to work Christmas Eve, but finished early. We had a little family Christmas photo shoot and so almost forgot to put dinner in the oven. I wanted to leave the photos as late in the evening as possible because I wanted to change Isabella into her Christmas outfit and wanted her to still wear it the next day. Well, at least it stayed clean for the photos which we took dangerously close to her bottle and bed time hence the faces in the last few photos. She then had her bottle which she spit up all over the front of her outfit... No worries, we wiped it and some baby lotion helped mask the smell.

Early Christmas morning we flew to Germany to spend a few days with the family. Isabella surprised us by being very cool and calm about traveling as though she's done it many times before. She did have two long flights behind her before birth. She decided to put my airplane nappy changing skills to the test when her nappy leaked and we had to have a complete outfit change including a whole body wipe-down in the airplane bathroom. So she arrived in Germany on Christmas morning wearing pink instead of red.

Luckily her Aunty Simone was ready with another cute Christmas outfit when we arrived!

Santa baby!

Isabella enjoyed all the attention from the family and her parents enjoyed a little bit of a break from feeding and entertaining. She must have been a super good baby as she also got spoilt with loads of presents for Christmas!
