Peanut is officially done with pureed (baby) food. She wants finger foods and she wants to do it herself. The attempts to feed her baby food results in her spitting it out onto her fingers so she can then put it back in her mouth. Gross!!!!

Now my food preparations starts to get creative. Today she had her first grilled cheese sandwich. She loved it; ate 1/4 of a sandwich! Wow!

Applesauce with a spoon didn’t work out so well….

It’s really too bad that there is no way for you to hear the sarcasm that just drips from that title.
Peanut may have her first ear infection.  We had to go to the walk in clinic today because Peanut’s 5 day runny nose turned into a barking cough.  It’s not in her chest so we’re good there.

We head back to the doctor tomorrow morning for them to check out the progress of Peanut’s ear.  They said today that it was “cloudy” but didn’t look infected.  He asked us to come back in a couple days but that would have been January 1st, so tomorrow it is.

*knock on wood* Munchkin hasn’t had any ear infections.  Ever.  I know, I know.  I’m pretty lucky.  She’s not a daycare kid so she’s not frequently exposed to illness.  This could be bad for when she starts school in September (that’s a whole other post).  This winter, however, has been filled with runny noses.  It’s like it just keeps getting passed back and forth amongst us all.

I’m going to call our family doctor to get an appointment for later this week.  I want him to look at her ear just to make sure that everything is okay. 

I gave her some Motrin before bed incase her ear hurts.  Sleep well, Peanut.
