Isabel is 4 months old!

Isabel is so alert and curious about everything now. It's hard to feed her and watch TV or do anything else as she would stop to look. She would check if the TV is on or look at me intently as I drink water. You can tell she is processing what everything is.

What an amazing process human development is. Well, her check up at 4 months went very well. She is at the 90% for her age for both height and weight and around 65% for her head circumference. She is 15.5 1bs, 25.75 inches long, and still 100% breast fed. I am so thankful I still have really good milk for her.

The Dr say she may get to 20 1bs by 6 months if not more. She got 4 more shots this visit and as usual, she was really tough. She only cried for 10 seconds and just stopped. This time, she didn't even get a fever from the shots like last time. Guess she is very healthy. The only thing she had was a bit of eczema on her face and arm. He prescribed a cream for her which worked well. Her skin cleared up beautifully except just one little spot now. No wonder she was hitting her face and head a lot before. She was itchy and we didn't know. Oh well. No one is perfect.

She can wear big girl clothes now, as you can see in the Jeans she wore on the photo. She looks actually much older than she is given her weight, although many people mistaken her for a boy when we go out. Oh well, I guess it's hard to tell. I just take it as it's because she looks so sturdy :-)
