So we went to the babe's 9 month appointment today! No shots thank goodness. First time not to get any. We did have to have our toe pricked to check for anemia. She was eating a food packet and didn't even notice. Momma did and was asking when this nurse would be done...she says "when I get it all". Oh really- hmm thanks for the update. SO ARE YOU DONE YET!?
STATS:
18.5 lbs and 27.5 inches. According to the pedi she is in perfect proportion. She has no teeth coming in yet. Sorry child you probably will be toothless for a while like your momma was.
Now we get to REALLY start feeding Miss B some food. She had progressed to scrambled eggs, whole wheat english muffins, bananas, some muffins Momma would make but nothing to spectacular. I was completely grossed out about the thought of giving her mashed up meat. So until two days ago she was a vegetarian. She tried some chicken off our pizza and loved it. Then today I made her ground turkey and that was also a winner. Other pedi suggestions for my hungry 9 month old:
*blueberries
*apple slices minus the peel
*pear slices minus the peel
*peas
*carrots soft or the longer sticks
*avocado
*pasta over cooked
*squash
*zucchini
*cucumbers minus seeds and skin
*ground meats
Basically really anything we might eat minus the seasonings.
Our little trooper after her poke...
Hello big girl car seat!
She still had a few inches to give and some pounds to gain but she absolutely was over being in the infant car seat. So Momma and babe went off to Buy Buy Baby (Love!) to shop for a car seat. I had done my research on car seats and pretty much knew what I wanted. Okay and maybe I saw Kourtney Kardashian's son in the one I wanted. BUT in defense of myself that girl is cray cray about being all natural and getting what is best and safest so I knew she did her homework and could afford the best. Since that particular car seat was actually a normal person price it was my first choice ;)
They did have the one I wanted and after trying her in all of them it still was my favorite. So I installed in the parking lot because I was not going to listen to the screaming babe in my backseat for one more second. While this new car seat is way awesome and reclines and basically is like sitting in a marshmallow sandwich- my child still whines on occasion. Big surprise.
MOMMY, MOMMY, MOMMY, MOMMY, MOMMY
So this is what my child would say if she knew how. We are all about being clingy these days. Really I just need to glue her to my back or have a kangaroo pouch and she'd be happy, happy, happy. I amuse her despite the advice I get from some people. I mean let's be honest with ourselves. I will miss this. So I indulge her bad habits with hugs and kisses and laying on the floor with her while she plays. Thanks to Mickey and Strawberry I can get a shower or lunch in most days :)
She is a very demanding and exhausting boss but the best and only one I want!
