Rice Cereal

At Avery's 4 month check-up we were told to start feeding her rice cereal. Avery's weight is hanging out around the 5% for her age, so the pediatrician wants us to go in monthly to weigh her.

So, we have diligently tried to feed her. She wears it as a beard mostly, but I think I've heard her swallow 5 times.

 This last appointment Avery had a gained a pound! Yay!

Unfortunately, so did the rest of the pediatric population, so Avery is still at the 5% weighing in at 11 lbs 14.5 oz.  Kyle came to this appointment as well, and the pediatrician said, "Well, your daughter is small, but now I see that Dad is skinny. And you aren't big..."

 

Yeah...as you can imagine, I don't remember anything she said after that...

It's kind of like when people say, "Oh yeah! Kyle is just so nice and you are...just...so... funny..."


Man, it's a tough world out there. Good thing I have my not-big-and-funny self to keep me going! :) And of course my small daughter and skinny husband!
