6 Month Check-up

Well, yesterday was Isabel's well-child visit. Here are her stats:

Weight: 15 lbs 2 oz (32%)
Height: 26.5 in. (77%- although, I don't know how accurate the nurse measured, cause she sure doesn't look that tall)
Head: 43 cm (67%)

She had to get her shots and she really didn't like that, especially since the nurse took her sweet time between each shot, dragging out the torture. But while Isabel was sitting up on the exam table, she discovered the tissue paper they have on it, and proceeded to tear that stuff apart. She had so much fun making noise with it and trying to eat it. There was little paper butterflies hanging from the ceiling, and she wouldn't take her eyes off of them, she thought they were so cool.

It seems like she is learning and growing so much. Just in the last week she has learned how to stick out her tongue, shake her head around (at first she did it when she was tired, and now she just does it for fun-must feel cool to make yourself dizzy). Now she is trying to learn how to make raspberries with her mouth. She will start humming and then put her tongue in between her lips, so it almost just sounds like an elephant, but I know soon enough it will turn to the spitting. She is starting to scoot just a little bit on her tummy, but she doesn't get very far before she is tired of that and wants to be held again.
She is so precious to us and we are so grateful to have her in our lives. I can't imagine loving anyone else like I do her, but I know I will with all our other kids we will have. Being a mom is the best job/privilege in the world!
