Had our doctor's visit this morning and Livee is 11 lbs, 8 oz and 24 inches long. She is a bean pole! They weren't too concerned with her weight since she gained 2 inches, but we are still going ahead with food. I am baking sweet potatoes for her as we speak. She really enjoyed the banana yesterday and the day before, but I don't want any constipation issues, so I am skipping rice cereal for now and moving on to a veggie. I am attempting to make homemade baby food, mainly because I HATE paying for little jars of food when I can make a whole ice cube tray full for the same price. I can also add what I want to it. I am taking a few short cuts, in that I bought frozen steam fresh peas, frozen butternut squash, a huge jar of natural applesauce, and the sweet potatoes in the plastic that you can microwave. Whatever I can do, right? I have some fresh carrots so I may cook those tomorrow and freeze them for later. In the mean time, the house is a wreck with Christmas decoration boxes everywhere and a halfway finished tree, but the baby comes first! She had 2 shots and an oral vaccine, so I expect her to sleep most of the day. Here is an exhausted pic of her.
