For Christmas, we travelled to Washington DC to see Wai-Gong and Poa-Poa. To prepare we collected many snowsuits, jackets, and mittens. Turns out DC was actually warmer than San Francisco and we didn't need outdoor clothes anyway because Isabella came down with the cold/flu and as a holiday present, gave it to Wai-Gong and Poa-Poa. She also regifted it to me as a New Year's present.
Despite the illness, Isabella loved being with her grandparents and she probably preferred being indoors because she got a lot more attention. She came back to California with a new prima donna attitude...she needed constant holding and eye contact at all times. After a week and a half of being with her not-so-attentive parents, she is finally returning to her old self. She can now go back to playing for a few minutes by herself without screaming her head off.
Here are a few pics from Isabella's first Chu side Christmas...(no, not all the presents around her are hers)
And one from today. She now has four (very sharp) front teeth.
