Thursday!

Yesterday was a rough day for my Bailey girl- she had to get her four month shots. Yuck-o!!! I hate watching them stick her with two needles-one in each leg, while she turned bright red and screams. It makes me want to cry. I feel as if I cause her so much pain for bringing her there. The nurse reminded me though "you'd rather vaccine than watch her lie sick in a hospital." I know she is right, but ouch!

Needless to say she consumed my time for the rest of the day. The rest of her appointment was great. She is in the 75th percentile for height and weight. And now weighs in at 14 pounds and 10 ounces. Also she in 25 inches long. Boy, she is growing fast!

Today we went to mommy and me class in the morning which was good fun :) 17 moms and babies were there-we laughed and played and chit chatted about all things baby. I realized that among all the babies that were born within a few weeks of Bailey, she was the most alert and aware of her surroundings. Now if she could only roll over... Huh! Come on sweet girl roll over :)

Anywho- one if the moms brought up cloth diapers. There are a lot of cool products out there for moms that want to commit to this. I started thinking about all of the money you could save until I talked to Alison who brought me right back to reality. I give any mom props for saving the environment and using cloths diapers instead of disposable. I can't imagine dumping the poop into the toilet and then having to spray and wash them. For me it'd never work. Ewww...

But these same very green moms gave great advice on making your own baby food. I have committed to myself that I am going to make all if Bailey's baby food. I am getting pretty good at it. Tonight I made butternut squash, acorn squash, and bananas. Some of their advice was to vacuum seal it with a heated seal, otherwise you may lose out on the nutrients in the freezer. So on that note, I have invested in a heated vacuum sealer, Seal-a-Meal. I used it tonight with some carrots that were already pureed in the freezer. Worked great! I highly suggest picking one up if you plan on making your own baby food.
