Isabella had her appointment today, it went so much better than I thought it would. She had to have a blood test, which I thought she would cry through. She actually smiled during the whole thing! The nurse said, "Some babies cry, some don't, but I have never seen a baby smile the whole time!" She did cry after her shots - I always feel so bad when she gets shots!
She weighs 18 pounds 6 ounces (50th percentile) and is 28 inches long (75th percentile). She has really caught up! She started out in the 5th percentile, and at 6 months was in the 25th percentile. You definitely can't tell she was a preemie anymore.
We also found out today she has allergies. Her eyes get really dark circles under them with a rash sometimes. The pediatrician took one look at her and said she definitely has allergies. We don't know to what yet, he thinks they are environmental but it could be some type of food. He said we don't have to do anything right now because she is not bothered by it. This came to no surprise to us as Monte and I both have environmental and food allergies. The poor girl, she doesn't have a chance!
