Tonight, after scrubbing her down, I sat her up for the first time in the tub. She was so excited! She kept splashing and squealing. She loves the plug - very fascinating.
This girl DESPERATELY wants to get her hands on whatever I'm eating. She fusses when I put her down to eat, so she usually sits on my lap while I tackle meals with one hand. The little monkey reaches out with both hands and pulls my plate to her in hopes that she can get her little hands on some of mommy's food (sometimes she's successful). I need Colin to watch my plate if I happen to focus my attention on Robbie because she's a sneaky and fast little one!
Weight: 17.13 lbs (90th percentile) Height: 26.? in (90th percentile)... not really confident with this number, there was a volunteer that was doing her measurements. Head: ? (50th percentile)
Everything went really well. One shot on each leg, the first one she didn't make a peep and the second one she let out a little yelp and a tear rolled down her cheek.
The nurse recommended we start something that I've never heard of before for an infant... Rub/brush her teeth with a tiny bit of fluoride once a day. She said this is a new thing that they're recommending to parents. I don't know how I feel about this so I'm going to wait until we see the pediatrician next month and I'll ask him what he thinks and why a damp cloth isn't sufficient.
This week she's been having banana during the morning and mixed grain cereal at night. The mixed grain is by far her favorite cereal out of all the ones she's had! My babyf ood cookbook says to mash 1/4 banana but as of yesterday she's been eating 1/2! Tomorrow we go for her weigh-in and shots.
