Photo Session

Isabel had a photo session with her Baba before her Baptism. Here are some of the takes we liked the most.

Videos

Here are a couple of cute videos. In the first one Isabel is smiling a bit, and in the second she is watching her mobile.

Hitting the streets with Babaanne

Deniz went to tour Austin with her Babaanne.

Playing with Mami

And here we are playing together... or posing for the camera?

My favorite toys

Her bracelets and her mobiles are up there, but her croaking frog always makes her smile!

Winter is here!

Well, some days anyway. It IS Texas after all, and global warming makes it even more varied lately. Isabel is now 3 months old, and got to wear her winter gear. We were too cold to take pictures outside (or we forgot, I'm not sure), so we took them when we came back, but at the end she got a bit bothered to be posing indoors with all the bulk, though, so we had to end the photo session.

So young and so....

For those of you who don't know it, in Turkey this is a VERY rude hand gesture!

My day with Baba

Here's Deniz playing with her Baba.

Hit the elephants!

Playing!

Isabel Deniz is now much better from her eczema! During the course of this last week she has also changed her behavior a lot. Now she has a much longer attention span, and she likes to play, especially with hanging things. Here are some of the latest pics.

Doctor Visit--an extended Halloween

On Monday Isabel went to her 2nd-month visit to Dr. Lowrey. She got 5 immunizations, which she didn't like at all. The first one was oral, and she puked it out twice. The shots she liked of course even less. At night she cried like she never had before until her Tylenol kicked in. Mami was about to have a heart attack. She even missed her Heroes episode out of shock!
The doctor also saw the awful diaper rash and the rash all over her body (we thought it was the same thing, but it turned out to be two separate rashes at the same time). He prescribed an antibiotic, a cortisone cream, and a moisturizing cream. Baba has spent the rest of his life creaming her up and cleaning her Popo with warm wet cloths like the old-timers. The good news is that the diaper rash is almost gone! The other rash is still all over her, but the doctor asked us to give it a week before we panic back to his office.

The Faces of Isabel Deniz

On Thursday Isabel didn't want to be anywhere but in her Baba's arms, so he did the only thing she let him do... take pictures. And he managed some nice close-ups and he finally caught a few smiles!

Grandmas

Abuela Camena and Güneş Babaanne met for a couple of days, so Isabel Deniz enjoyed both of her grandmas spoiling her at the same time.

My Favorite Blanket

This is how she likes it best, wrapped in her favorite blanket. We all want a blanket like that. Why don't they make those for adults???
