It's been one week!

Wow, time sure flies when you have a baby. On the one hand, we can't believe that it's only been one week and we've learned so much from her - her signals on when she wants to eat, what she likes, what she doesn't like. And she's learned so much too, to breathe, to wear the clothes that her parents seem so inept to put on, to sleep in her own crib (that was a challenge until Alex's mom told us to put one of our shirts in with her so she can smell us). On the other, we've passed the last week in a daze, barely knowing what day of the week it is. Isabella is still figuring out that one is supposed to sleep more at night than during the day, although it doesn't help that your darn parents keep waking you up every few hours to eat.

We went to the first doctor visit on Saturday and she lost some weight, which is normal, but by Monday she gained 7 oz. back already! If only Karen had gained weight this fast during pregnancy....

Alex went back to work for half a day today. It was hard for Dad to leave his little girl behind at home. Karen and Isabella are having a great time at home though...Tomorrow Abuelita (Grandma Salazar) comes! All three of us are very excited!

Isabella's cousins came by this weekend.

Isabella's oldest cousin, Steve

And Wendy

Isabella also seems to like her rocker which has some yellow fish hanging on it.
