Retiring Big Gurl at 4 months

IMG_1576

After a (likely) coincidence where Isla seemed to answer to Big Gurl a couple nights ago, we have decided to phase out the nick-name.  (I could foresee an embarrassing episode on the playground in a year or so when she introduces herself.)  So, next up—Isla Bean.  You’ll have to ask Alex where he came up with this one, but at least it incorporates her name.

We saw Dr. Dews for Isla’s four month well-check today.  We are so blessed to have such a healthy little girl!  She is gaining weight at a great pace, and it still looks like she is going to be tall like her mama.

Weight:  15 lbs. (75-90%)

Height:  26 in. (95%)

Head:  16 3/4 in. (75-95%)

Dr. Dews also thinks she is ready for solid foods.  So, I’m going to be whipping up a yummy batch of rice cereal in the next few days.

She has been intensely watching everything I put in my mouth recently, so I think she will be this excited.

And anything she gets her hands on goes into her mouth (including her toes . . .)

  1. What a doll baby. She is so darn cute and happy. I can't wait to get my hands on her. Give her a kiss from Grandma.
