She's in the 90th percentile for both! Poor thing cried so hard when she got her vaccinations today and her face turned beet red. She was cranky and restless most of the day. http://www.kidnkitties.com/2008/09/03/four-month-check-up/ Izzy has a few plastic monstrosities and other essential items that are wonderful distractions. If it weren't for these things, I wouldn't be able to shower, cook dinner or eat. Everyday she works the circuit. Playmat, activity rocker, swing, exersaucer. Repeat.

She loves hanging on to stuff up to a point. She hasn't quite figured out how to let something go when she no longer wants to hold it, so she gets really mad when she realizes that ... http://www.kidnkitties.com/2008/08/23/learning-is-tiring/ Izzy was particularly fussy this evening. I couldn't quite figure it out. She didn't seem hungry. I thought she might have been tired, but wouldn't take a nap. I thought she was hot, so I stripped her down to her diaper. She whined the entire time I was trying to ... http://www.kidnkitties.com/2008/08/19/so-sweet-itll-make-you-cry/ Today, Izzy grabbed her 25 cent Ikea Fish rattle with her left hand--completely unassisted! She was shaking it and putting it close to her mouth so she can lick it. It's been several minutes and she's still hanging on to it. http://www.kidnkitties.com/2008/08/17/motor-skills-improving/
