We never got around to celebrating Izzy's 100th day alive like we did for Alice, to be honest I completely forgot about it, but I have a feeling that Izzy might just follow in her Grandpa's footsteps and become an engineer. She's SO into figuring out how things work that she's bound to be one of those people who takes things apart just so she can figure out how to put it all back together again. We've seen many examples of this over the past few months, but the most obvious incident that has occurred to date happened today at the doctor's office.
She had to have blood drawn for a standard lead test. The nurse and phlebotomist really thought she was going to freak out, so nurse Jean decided to hold her while it happened. Know what the little stinker did? She stared at the little needle and tube the whole time with such inquisitive eyes. Not one peep did she make (until she had her shots, that is)! I really can't believe just how different she is from Alice. We made the comment that Izzy was going to be our little doctor or engineer, and Alice, being the drama queen that she is, is going to be our actress.
So while we're talking about doctor appointments I thought I'd share how Izzy is doing since her last visit to see Dr. Dan. She's currently 28.5 inches (75th percentile) and 17.2 lbs (15th percentile)! She definitely had quite the soggy diaper at the cardiologist the other day, so I'm not surprised that her weight is lower than what it was last week, but since she was weighed naked today it's a more accurate view of how she's really doing. Slowly but surely she's gaining the weight and going from the 10th percentile to the 15th is AWESOME! I'll say it again, I'm so glad that we pushed for the Zantac. I can't even believe the difference it's made. She's even started to sleep through the night now that she's eating more!
As someone who really values her sleep, not having to get up with her twice a night has been VERY nice!
