so i guess she's a little on the scrawny side, but what can you do? the kid doesn't care about food. weirdo. what else. she got four shots, so the next couple days should be interesting. ad infinitum she actually did really well. all the other times we've been to see our doc, she's had a little meltdown from just the eye contact. not this time. she loved being naked and crawling all over that crinkly paper on the examining table/bench. she laughed and talked to the doc while he shined light in her eyes, stuck a funnelly thing in her ears, and jabbed her in the stomach to check for who-knows-what. she was even enjoying the nurse's company as she was alcoholling down her little thighs. poor kid, didn't even see it coming. she kicked and writhed during the poking, but recovered within about a minute and was happily waving goodbye by the time we were strolling out of the facility.
things that make me happy:
- we get to switch to real milk! no more formula, WOO!
- she's cleared to eat any and all table food i deem appropriate.
thing(s) that make me less happy:
- i love whole milk, and i consider it a hazard to have it on hand where i can poor myself a glass at a moment's notice. worse yet, we have in the cupboard, at this very moment, a serious costco-sized supply of nestles quick! and how!
ps i've been practicing with the photo editing of my skin tones. this pic's skin is the product of about an hour of suffering. i'm a learning computer.
Great Blog Sara Elizabeth! Don't know much about skin tones, but everything is looking good! Glad the visit to the Doc went well. Bets looks wonderful red shoes and all.
ReplyDeleteThere's lots of text next to the picture!!! You did it!!! How? Were we just being crazy before?? It's looking sweeeeet. I heart your blog.
ReplyDeleteWow - a year - congratulations!! She is cute and tiny! (Audrey has been in the 19.5 lb range for the last month already - although she hasn't seemed to gain much recently).
ReplyDeleteThe picture looks great! I love that you are learning so much - I am inspired (I still pretty much point and shoot...)
I'm glad to hear you are a whole milk drinker. I think we are a dying breed. Most people I know drink the watered down stuff. We also have the costo size nestles quick, and can't live without it.
ReplyDeletemegs, i used the html code to load the pic from photobucket, then i entered all my text, then i switched to compose mode and dragged the pick where i wanted it. who knows if it was a fluke, but it worked. yay!
ReplyDeletebecky, thanks! we've bene following your blog. i can't believe A's walking already!
