Well it's been a while, it's a new year so maybe I'll do better. Christmas was very very hectic between buying tons of presents, taking care of Kaley, working, and youth church events...my time was very tied up. Kaley had a great Christmas! Even though she didn't know what was going on lol.
Yesterday she turned 4 months old! It's hard to believe how fast she is growing up. It's cliche but time really does fly!! She had her 4 month well baby check yesterday....this was her before the shots!
This was the smile before the tears!
She was great for the doctor, grinning and happy! But those shots were bad...probably almost worse on me! I wish I could take the shots for her. They did 3 shots altogether. The first 2 they did at the same time and it was delayed crying...at first I was like really is she not going to cry then here it came. She turned so red and just opened her mouth, held her breath and you knew it was coming...the screaming! Ugh I hate it! I'm really going to hate it when she starts to wonder why I'm letting them hurt her :.-( Ugh no fun at all!!
Lying On The Table Waiting On The Bad Stuff...Shots!
Today was also the first day she sat in her high chair! We have a space saver high chair that attaches in a regular kitchen chair since our house is so small for the time being. I LOVE IT! and Kaley does too! She was so happy sitting in it. I was thinking she might not like it because of having to get strapped in like a car seat but she looked like she enjoyed it.
The doctor suggested to go ahead and start feeding her a little bit of food so I got anxious and since she was in her high chair I figured...well might as well feed her a little something. So it was also her first day to eat bananas. She didn't hardly know what to think about it. I think she ate a very small amount but at least it's getting her use to it somewhat! Her main nutrition of course still will come from milk. The food is basically to get her use to eating, and hopefully so she won't be a picky eater...he said that was a plus of starting at 4 months vs 6 months.
I Just Don't Know About This Stuff!
By the way this starts my journey of homemade baby food...I started really simple. Took a very small piece of banana, added a very small amount of water and mashed it up with a fork. Simple....why would anybody spend money on a jar of bananas...it has to be the simplest food to do...and super cheap. It would be nice to put a little small amount of formula in it so it would be a slighly more familiar taste but I just wanted her to try a little bit so I didn't bother doing it this time. So....though it doesn't need one here is the complicated recipe!
