Finally hit 16lbs and the size 3 diapers are starting to fit! Also realized her size 3 shoes (6-9 months) are getting a little small and went out to get her some size 4s!!! She's walking all over the place non stop so I'm super happy about her gain of 6ounces in 2 weeks. (so is the nutritionist) Especially since she's teething and had a delayed allergic reaction to bug bites on top of the walking.
For foods lately: We've been loving summer. Fruit is a big deal in this house. Of course we dip it in coolwhip or yogurt or caramel or chocolate, blend it into ice cream shakes.....We've also been enjoying freeze dried fruits. And veggies (which Kaylee will eat - James is hit or miss) Corn, zucchini (breaded and fried or steamed) I made some dill ranch cucumber dip to go with some crackers I found at the store (keebler club sticks - perfect for small hands) I haven't convinced either kid to actually eat the dip (James tried a few crackers and said he liked it) but G and I think it's great. You mix 1 16oz container of sour cream with a package of the ranch mix, 1 tsp of dill and half a cucumber (cut up into small pieces)
On a side note: I've noticed more moms being told to fatten up their kids, and this in turn sparking the debate on how to feed your kids (no junk, only "good" fats etc) I don't want to be involved in all that - feed your kids how you feel is best! We've been dealing with this issue for 4 years now with 2 kids and in all the doctors, dietitians and nutritionists we've seen their main focus has always been getting in the calories. We don't eat only "healthy" fats (we eat Mcdonalds regularly). I still hope other moms are able to use some of our ideas and I'm able to help you help your kids.
