| Isabella's first flight! |
Our little princess is now almost 5 months old and I'm enjoying every moment with her, almost. When ever she reached the 3 month old stage she has been so much happier and easier baby. No holding her anymore all the time when she's awake. We visited US for Christmas for three weeks and she was like a new baby! We were so surprised how well she adapted to everything. Big dogs barking and licking her face, no reaction. Long car rides and we have a baby asleep! Shopping with mommy, so exciting (can you believe it?! Natural shopper 😜).

| Look guys, she's sleeping!! |
We were so excited about our easy baby, until we came back home.. It felt like we have a brand new baby again and even harder, she stopped sleeping during night...! We were exhausted because of the jet lag and our lovely girl is really testing her parents' patience. First week was horrible, she woke up EVERY hour. I didn't know what to do so I just started to give the pacifier to her and she became addicted to it. So now every time the pacifier has dropped she wakes up! So nice! NOT! I made a very bad habit for her. But at the same time it's easier just to give her that because it calms her down.

We also really wanted to start to give solid food when we come back home. So I started, first week was great, she was eating and enjoying the new tastes. Second week came and I kept giving her more food and different flavors and little by little she started to become very sensitive and was crying a lot and couldn't sleep during the day at all. So I became frustrated and didn't know what to do. I couldn't sleep much because she was waking up so much. She was clearly uncomfortable but I had no idea what to do. I was exhausted and thinking that this is our life now forever. It felt so endless. So it came out just today, that she's having a very first tooth coming and was constipated almost a week. No wonder she was little fussy.. The situation is little bit better now but I feel little worried about going to bed still because I know that I need to get up so many times because of her pacifier.. What a habit I created...! We'll see how the new week starts.

It is funny and also nice how this baby life goes through different stages. I feel that every week is different with her. If I have been frustrated and almost giving up (can you really give up parenting??), the next week starts differently and easier.
I love her stage right now. She is now crapping things with her hands, she's smiling all the time, she's testing her voice (which is sometimes quite loud..) and is so interested in of everything. It's fascinating to observe and follow how she's growing. We have so much fun with her together with my husband. She's adorable.
