well. we had a wonderful weekend- just the 3 of us. livi had her 4 month check-up with Dr. Brooks on friday. she is 25 3/4 inches long & weighs 15 lbs. 10 oz. which puts her above the 90th percentile in both categories... not sure that her dad & i are thrilled about this but Dr. Brooks insists we are not over-feeding her & that she will "thin out as soon as she gets mobile." she is still waking up @ least 3 times per night so he suggested we start her on rice cereal.... it did not help with the sleeping but she is IN LOVE with rice cereal! it is amazing what we do for entertainment these days now that livi is here... even rice cereal is a big deal. for her first "meal" we decided to eat dinner outside on our new table (mom & dad brought it over for drae for his early birthday~ thanks!). so we set her up in her chair, put a bib on her, and i started to feed her. however, as soon as it hit her tongue she lost all sense & sensibility. she started slurping it off the spoon with loud gurgling noises, using both hands to push the entire spoon in her mouth, and kicking her feet wildly. then only 2 spoonfuls into it, the tiki torch drason lit right beside the table ignited into flames... the entire thing! flames were 4 feet from livi's head so i jerked her up as drason stamped & sprayed with the hose (he had put some "alternative fuel" in it thinking it was the same difference... he he he :) with livi now hollering angrily @ being interrupted we plopped her back in her seat to eat but, at this point, she was so mad she kicked the cup with rice cereal out of my hand. it hit the ground & shattered and glass went in my big toe (yes, i know. no glass for kids, lesson learned). but, did livi drae care? not one bit. she was still DEMANDING that she be given more cereal! so i ran in, made some more, (glass still in toe. blood on kitchen floor) and let her dad finish feeding her. needless to say, our first feeding experience was crazy but our little livi is thrilled with her new nightly treat!
