6 Months Old!

Izzy Lou is an entire half year old now ( and a little bit more). Last week, Izzy had her 6 month check up and weighed in at 12 lb 5 oz and is now a whole 2 feet tall! And just like the doctor promised, she has become a lot more fun. She laughs and smiles more and is starting to appreciate games like peek-a-boo and zerberting parts of her body. She's still not mobile though she has on occasion managed to roll across the room or off our outdoor blanket or under the table. She just hasn't quite figured out how to do it on purpose with a destination in mind. Though I'm sure that's not far off and then we're in trouble!

The big thing this month has been starting daycare for Izzy and starting work full-time again for me. Daddy has taken over dressing her and dropping her off and I get to pick her up after school. Sadly, I'll be unable to pump this time around at school so she's going to be a formula baby at least during the day. Fortunately our sitter Ziggy (love the name) supplies food and formula so that's one less thing we need to worry about.Izzy loves day care and Dad has reported that she starts giggling when he takes her out of the car for drop-off. We sure do miss the Peanut but we also know that she's probably having more fun there than home with Daddy trying to work. Izzy has been under the weather since she started since now she's exposed to more people but she's still smiling even through a couple fevers and now a stuffy nose.
