We had Kylie's "four month" check up yesterday...
14 pounds 3 ounces!!
As the Dr. Says... she is really only THREE months, but she is doing so well I am not concerned about this little one at all! Dr. Richard Jones (the BEST pediatrician in the world as far as I am concerned; and I have had a few pediatricians to be able to give him that title) told me about "the new way MOST Dr.'s are feeding infants" He pulled out his Prescription Pad and started writing away...
~ Spoon feeding 3X a day... malt o meal, cream of wheat, oatmeal, rice... carrots, squash, yams, pears, applesauce, bananas, soft boiled eggs, strained chicken or beef...
The mama in me was shocked because I did not feed either of my kids before like 5-6 months AND we started with baby rice cereal and breast milk. Dr. told us that the evidence in the research that has been done on this "new way of feeding infants" can not be denied! Bone Density is twice as high in the studies that had been done with infants that are eating this way. He was also telling me that he read a few articles written by people who were following the research and they DID NOT want to go along with the new way of feeding, but after seeing the results, they had no choice but to recommend it too! Very interesting to me... ANYWAYS... we hit up the store and got some fruits and veggies to puree up!
Here she is...
Don't judge me...
I know she is in a BLUE bumbo seat.
I had a purple one with Hailey, then got a blue, and I don't feel the need to get a purple one again.
(poor thing is going to have THIRD CHILD SYNDROME)
There... added a BOW and a GIRLY BIB and there is NO denying this sweet one is a girl...
add a little applesauce and she is a HAPPY little girl...
That Daddy has her giggling all the time! THUMBS UP to the NUMMYNESS!!
