50% More

Baby Isabella went to the pediatrician yesterday for her 2-month checkup. She had gained 50% of her original weight and now is in the 75th percentile in both height and weight. No wonder my arm is getting tired holding her! I think she is about 50% more beautiful too, don't you?? She also got three injections and one oral vacination--I bet her legs are sore!

Laura has joined the YouTube movement with this funny little clip of Isabella talking to her grandmother in Santo Domingo. Baby is definitly catching on the the turn-taking process of communication. If you look at her and say something, then quietly wait, she vocalizes something back, and we all laugh because it is so fun!


We are going to be so sad to see this baby move to the other side of the globe, but it looks like that is going to happen. Andrew has accepted a job with Food For the Hungry in Ethiopia. The travel details are not in place yet, but it looks like Andrew will go ahead of his family for 4-6 weeks, leaving in September.
