You want me to cook?

We went to Jenna's 9 month check up this morning. She weighs 17 lbs. 15.5 oz and is 28 inches long. This put her in the 33% and 70% respectively. Our pediatrician informed us that he would like her to start eating "table" food to have a higher calorie intake. "You know just give her whatever you guys are having to eat.", he says oh so casually. It took me a minute to process what he was saying. I finally asked, "How do I grind up Captain Crunch? Can she eat Top Ramen?" I don't think he fully appreciates the magnitude of my non-cooking stance! He just started laughing and told me it was refreshing to get an honest response. Apparently most respond with, "I will go right home and start growing my own vegetables to prepare with care and love over a hot stove."

I did, however, go home and share my Fudgesicle! (I also made cornbread that night. I eat it in a bowl with milk and either jam or honey. As you can see she enjoyed both!)

Oh man she is so cute! My daughter only weighed 17 pounds when she turned 1 and my doctor wasn't at all concerned.

I don't think it was because she is 17 lbs. It was because her percentile had been averaging the same until this last visit when it dropped dramatically.
