Colicky Baby? Read This Before Calling an Exorcist

If you've been wondering what Isabel (and we) have been going through, check out this NY Times article our doctor recommended we read about colic: "Colicky Baby? Read This Before Calling an Exorcist."

I read Dr. Karp's book, Happiest Baby on the Block, mentioned here, and Oti and I follow it pretty well. Isabel has been doing great lately and didn't have a colickly outburst at all yesterday (OK, briefly at the Dr's office when she peed all over Oti!). We hope the baby Zantac is working (she was diagnosed with reflux :(.

Yesterday she received her first immunization shots (well, she got one in the hospital at birth), and she did great after the initial shock of the needle. I think Oti and I were more in pain than she was! She's now 9 lbs ( 4.082 kilos), and 22 inches (55.88 cm).

On another front - she's starting to get some red hair!
