MY FIRST FOOD - January 16, 2006
It's the new year and some new first's for my little princess. Kami had her 4 1/2 month check up on January 16, 2006. If you had a chance to hold her, you wouldn't have been surprised to find out that she weighed in at 18.4 lbs and measured 25 1/2 inches. This was a gain of almost 4 pounds since her last visit on 11/15/05. This visit included her second series of shots which she handled really well. Daddy was able to join us that day so it was a family affair with lots of questions like when can she start eating solid foods. Well, as you can see, the Dr. said we could start with single foods like cereal, vegetables and fruits. We have captured a few different eating times. The first one is with cereal. This was at Grandma and Poppy's house. As you can see, she tried to feed herself. The next picture is Daddy feeding her carrots. It looks like she really is enjoying them until you see the next picture. She wasn't sure about the taste and texture but we can assure you, it hasn't stopped her. The last picture is her tasting green peas. What's been wonderful about this new experience for us is that she has eaten everything we've tried. This includes cereal, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, apples, pears, mangos, cantelope, plums and one of her most favorites are the home made ice pops that I make with watered down apple juice.
