Little Monkey Sits Up, Eats Banana

Sitting up! That's what we've been practicing around here. It is what she wants to do and we are doing our best to keep the face plants to a minimum.







































Mealtime has been more of a challenge. Little shnookums was 16 pounds, 6 ounces at the pediatrician on Friday, which is exactly the same as the week before. Sigh. She has been rejecting all solid food with the exception of banana, which she laps up every single time it is offered to her. We mix it with rice cereal and have had success with new cereals like oatmeal. Our pediatrician suggested offering one new food every day for seven days. She is on day 4 of applesauce and it is still a no-go.

She likes her new high chair and likes giving orders from it.




I'll feed myself, thank you.












If you even think of putting applesauce on that spoon . . . .




That's it. You're fired.







Otherwise, we wait for doctors' appointments to roll around. We go to the nephrologist Feb. 12 and back to the urologist Feb. 17. We have a sodium test tomorrow and the latest urine culture was clean, so all in all we can't complain. Now if we could just slide some bacon grease in those bananas....

Sitting up - wow - crawling and pulling everything off your counter tops is right around the corner.

As for the eating, I think she's waiting for Moon Pies and Krystal burgers.

She's beautiful. Can't wait to see you.

My little monkey is growing up too fast. I am going to have a time freeze placed on her at once. I know she will eat krystals. Try that. Hahahahahaha! Picky eaters run in the family. I love you all. See you in March!

Way to go Susannah with the sitting! There is no doubt she has an opinion and will have a fine independent spirit.
