5 Month Measurements

Can I BE Any Cuter?

Today I took her to the County Family Clinic and had her weighed.
Weight: 17 pounds 10.5 ounces
Length: 27 inches
Head Circumference: 17 1/8 inches
The County Family Clinic was pretty decent. It is a free program that just started in March. It is for family and kids of all ages. They have tons of literature and nurses are staff it that can answer any questions you have. Plus it is available every Wednesday from 12-4pm and is walk-in. They even have snacks and juice there for kids. And they had a bunch of toys out for kids of all ages. They even had a carboard box fort - neat! Isabel had some fun playing with some new toys. And I guess they will have educational topics & discussion depending on if there are enough people sticking around. So, you don't have to just drop in and leave right away. I liked it, not just because the hours worked for us, but I did like going to the newborn clinic during the summer. It gave us something to do once a week and I got out there to see other moms & kids. I got the impression from the moms that were there that many of them come every week. They were very friendly. So, I don't know how often we'll go there during the school year -- at least once a month to get a weight, but in the summer we might go more often.


My Normal Smile
Today's outfit is her second one. This one is a vintage Gymboree top I bought paired with KO jeans she has worn before. She stayed home today with dad. He was feeling under the weather and we weren't exactly sure we wanted her to go to daycare anyways. Yesterday 2 kids were sent home -- one with impetigo and another with pink eye. Then that evening she told us that she took her daughter to the doctor and she has pink eye as well (her daughter plays with the other girl a lot I guess.) She didn't have to close daycare because it wasn't an airborne contagious thing, even though it is extremly contagious and her daughter is there. But it is only contagious through contact or being in contact with something the infected person was in contact with. Her daughter was going to be quarantined to the basement tv room, away from the other kids. But we feel better knowing that she will have had antibiotics for 24 hours before Isabel goes back. She's going back tomorrow.
