4 Months Old

Here's our little Izzy McSquizzy. She is such a good baby! (All of our kids have been great babies! We've been extremely lucky!) I was somewhat disappointed when I took Iz to her 4 month check-up. Don't get me wrong, she has been great and super healthy, but I really was thinking she has been our chubbiest baby to date. Maison was 2 months early and still doesn't have an ounce of fat on him and Libs is exactly the same. Izzy on the other hand actually has baby fat. Her skin actually folds over her socks and it is hard to tell where her chubby legs end and her butt begins. It's pretty cool. She is not fat by any means, but I was hoping around the 50th percentile. Masion wasn't really ever on the chart for weight and Libs always hung around the 2% to 5% for quite a while.

I was quite optimistic, but that was soon over. She took her weekly poop, which was HUGE right before her appointment! :( She ended up only being in the 25th percentile for weight even after I had the nurse weigh her twice! She is officially 25 1/4 inches long (75th percentile), 12 lbs 6 1/2 ounces (25th percentile) and her head is 16 1/4 inches (50th percentile). In other words, perfect.

I looked back at the other kids at their 4 month birthday. It's kind of interesting.
Maison: 13 lbs 24 in
Libby: 12 lbs 25 1/2 in
Izzy: 12 lbs 6.5 oz 25 1/4 in

It just doesn't seem possible! We'll see if Iz keeps putting on weight. Looking back at Libby she was the same weight for quite some time until she hit one year when she weighed 17lbs.

(Just a side note, her hair doesn't always stick up, but Daddy loves her little curl on the top so I don't try too hard to comb it down! That will be our little secret.)
