Fattening Her Up

Little miss Clara has not been gaining weight like she is suppose to lately so the Dr. gave me the go ahead to try some rice cereal. I was hoping to wait until Zachary got home so he wouldn't miss out on all her firsts but we needed to fatten her up before he got home. Thankfully daddy was in port the first time we fed her and we were able to skype with him so he could watch. I told Em that we were going to feed Clara and so at lunch time she gave Clara a little piece of turkey so she could eat with us. I quickly had to explain to her that we had to start with mushy food first since Clara doesn't have teeth yet and her tummy can't handle food like that yet. I let Em feed Clara the first bites so mommy could take pictures. She was thrilled and did such a great job! I think most of what Em put in her mouth ended up all over Clara because she spit it out. I love watching them eat their firsts bites of food and seeing their reaction to the new texture in their mouth.
We went back in for a weight check yesterday and she still is not gaining like she should so I am continuing the feeding schedule and going in every few days to make sure she is gaining at least some weight. She seems happy and not any more cranky than normal. She weighs at 4.5 (12.1lbs) months what Em was at 2 months. I think she is just going to be my petite one.
