Last week we had out big four month appointment! I still can't believe she's already that old. I feel like she's so big, but as the doctor told me she's actually smaller than the average baby. She now weighs twelve pounds and fifteen ounces and is twenty three and an eighth inches long.
The doctor also told us that she's healthy and ready for baby cereal and baby food! We wanted to wait until daddy (finally) got home from AT. We also had to get two shots and an oral vaccine. K-Mac talked to the nurses the whole time and only cried (briefly, thank God) after her second shot.
Recently, we bought a jumperoo for K-Mac! It was love at first bounce. When she wiggles the whole thing jumps with her, blasting music/jungle noises and lights up. It's adorable and she loves it.
But the real reason I'm updating is to talk about food! We started K-Mac on cereal this past Monday (6/20). Yeah, she isn't feeling it. She'll open her mouth and doesn't have a problem with pushing her tongue around or eating off the spoon, it's just so blah! The cereal doesn't interest her. So we devised a plan. When we mix it with little dots of baby applesauce it suddenly becomes her new fave. Today we tried straight baby applesauce and she loved it. Next week, we're going to give some veggies a shot. I'm thinking carrots.
Any suggestions?

ReplyDeleteall the pictures, but especially the last one, are great!
ReplyDeleteI just started my girl on solids, and she doesn't love cereal. I did avocado which she liked better & then made squash, which is her favorite so far! So, maybe try that soon?
good idea with the drop of applesauce in the cereal, i may try that!
