Well Makenzie FINALLY had her 6 month needles today LOL! Poor little button, she howled but not for long, she settled down quickly after the initial shock. The doctor got the nurse to come in so they could do both needles simultaneously so she only had one shock, not two! She got weighed and everything, she's not as heavy as I expected, she was only 8.4kgs and 67cms long.
Brooke - I read somewhere that once solids are established they should be having between 1/3 and 1/2 a cup. I'm going to put Makenzie on two meals soon as she still only has one but she loves food so much so I'll have to do that soon.
She had avocado for the first time yesterday and absolutely loved it! I put a little bit of rice cereal with it so it wouldn't be so strong a taste and she gobbled the lot! So basically she's tried banana, apple, pear, carrot and now avocado LOL. I bought a heap of vegies yesterday and I cooked up a large sweet potato and pureed that, and then did a couple of potatos and have put them in snaplock bags and frozen them for when she tries them. We ended up making ourselves mashed potato with dinner last night as when I did the potatos for Kenzie in the food processor they were so light and fluffy! So we did more potatos for us with a bit of butter and milk and salt and they were sooooooo yum! I've never been fussed on mashed potato but this was yum! I tasted Kenzie's sweet potato too and that was yummy as well! Gonna cook up the pumpkin today and whizz and freeze that.
Brooke - that's so cute about Maya crawling everywhere and all over you. Makenzie's starting to get on her hands and knees a fair bit now and she can inch her way around the place, but takes her ages.
When I was shopping yesterday I got Makenzie her very first toothbrush! It's so cute, has little ducks all over it. I thought that now she has teeth I'll start getting her used to a toothbrush.
Anyway, better go get the boys lunch and tidy up as MIL is coming over this arvo to make chocolate crackles with the boys LOL
