I know its been forever so here are a ton of pictures

Okay first off sorry for the time lapse between posts. preoccupied, tired etc. Moving on. Okay venting here people and I would appreciate some input from my blogging Guatemama's who have big Guate babies. So Isabella turned 3 on August 2nd. Yes bad mama didnt post that day, some pictures of her opening presents below, anyway. I took her to the pediatrician who has informed me that my child is F-A-T. No he didnt say that exactly but he did say she is 39 pounds and 39 inches and based on her BMI it is in the 95% and that he recommends a change in her diet and I got an eating healthy speech. I am so angry I could spit nails, my kids eat very well, very healthy, fresh fruits and veggies, chicken, rarely red meat, if any at all, no crappy snacks. FYI all of you American cheese is very bad for kids, according to the pediatrician anyway, so I will cut that out. Anyone else with a big baby being told something similar? Isabella has always been big, infact she weighed at 6 months what Gabrielle weighs now at almost 2.

Enough ranting. Enjoy the pictures, my girls love the beach. It took 3 tries to get the footprints done, Gaby kept walking across it. We also went to Sea World again. It was soooo hot, thank God for that kids water park area.

Also big shout out to Corey who took my kids for the night and next day, to give me a much needed break. Isabella and Gabrielle love Luke and thanks to David and Grandma J and Grandma D. By the end of the weekend my kids were calling them both Grandma. No pictures of that though, I think they had their hands full with the three of them

OK I think the dr is crazy. I have seen them eat. Looks like fun in the water part of SW.

Your girls just get prettier everyday! The beach looks like so much fun, but SeaWorld was hot enough for me in May! I think your doctor is LOCO! Isa looks very healthy. BMI....SMEE-MI

Hi,

I have noticed that Isabelle is structurally similar to my dd, who at 18 months weighed 29# and 9 oz. The doctor told me to cut back on her whole milk. I was giving her more than 16 oz each day. She is now 21 months and weighs 29 lbs, still on the larger size. I agree with you in that she eats very healthy, and I have come to the conclusion that my dd and possibly Isabele's size just has to do with their genetics. We may have to watch them more closely than other parents may need to do with their kids. My dd gets little to no sweets, and yet she is what I call "solid". I have decided to keep her diet healthy, and involve her in as many activities as possible. It looks like you do the same thing. If she has the tendency to weigh more, more easily than others, then I want to teach and give her the tools to manage it, without making a big deal out of it. Isabelle is beautiful, and she looks great..she is who God made her to be and she will be just fine..You are doing a GREAT job with her.

Amy, they are truly beautiful! And...I LOVE their names. Of course, I'm a bit biased, since our daughter's name is Isabela Gabrielle.

Isn't it sooo funny (she stick skinny - and eats JUNK) So I just think it is what it is and she doesn't look fat to me!
