Baby Growth Chart: Growing off the charts!
They literally told me at Isla's 4 month check up that she is growing off the charts! She was 95-100% for height, I believe 97.5% to be exact. It looks like she is not going to be a shorty like her momma. She was 90-95% for height, but was below average at 25% for her head circumference. She still has her little peanut head! We got a great report that our beautiful girl is healthy and apparently very well-nourished!
Look at the difference from week 1 until now. Her legs are so much fuller. Love my chubby happy girl!

Cancer. Its such a dirty word to me.
With the recent Stand Up 2 Cancer program that aired on NBC, the thoughts and memories of my experiences with cancer flooded my mind. I've lost two great grandparents my grandfather and grandmother to cancer. Many of the men in my family have struggled with prostate cancer and are still battling it.
My step grandpa is currently battling bladder cancer and my doctor recently discovered I had melanoma. Luckily, we caught it early and it didn't spread. I now have a nice scar along my side and back to always remind me that God is looking out for me.
This time of year always makes me think of my mamaw. She passed in October after spending nearly 60 days in the hospital and battling ovarian cancer for several years. She was the strongest most courageous person I have ever known. Never once did her faith waiver while she was so sick. I admire her and miss her so. I pray my family and loved ones can all be done with this terrible disease. Praying one day there is a cure and no one has to suffer from cancer anymore.

Happy 4 Months Isla Rae!
My sweet girl is 4 months old tomorrow! I can't believe how fast the time flies. Seems like just yesterday we brought her home for the first time. She has given us so much joy in the past 4 months. She is such a happy girl.
My little cupcake loves face time with mommy, rolling over from her back to her tummy and jumping! She loves her jumperoo. It's so much fun to watch her as she discovers new things, her toes, my nose, how she can kick and jump and all the little noises she is finding out she can make.
We are still settling in to our new routine. It's been hard on both of us, but we are adjusting. The good news is, she is finally starting to ride a little better in the car and is doing better overall with her gas pains.
A baby does change everything... but everything changes for the good. I couldn't imagine my life without her.
Here's a preview of our home photo shoot from Sunday morning. I miss doing these everyday!
