Sweet Potatoes and Antibiotics

On Thanksgiving, I whipped up some sweet potatoes for Payton. After her eating cereal for about 4 weeks, we decided on Sunday that she was ready to try some of her first veggies. We thawed a cube and she was all set! I think it is safe to say that she loved them. She ate every bite and did not even spit any out like she does with her cereal. (Which by the way, she is not as in love with.) Today was day 2 and same result at dinner. At the store this weekend I also bought some peas, beans, and carrots so I will be whipping up some more firsts for her soon. Don't know if I will make all of her foods, but my first time proved to be super easy.

Today Payton also had her first trip to the doctor other than a wellness check. She has had a cold for about a week and a half and a cough that does not seem to want to go away. Today I finally decided I would call the doctor and of course given her age, and I think the season, they wanted to see her. She again had a "goupy" eye when I picked her up, so it was probably best she get checked out. They were not too concerned and gave her some medicine for the cough and congestion, as well as some antibiotics since whatever it is keeps hanging around. She took this medicine like candy out of the dropper....we guess she will eat anything that we put into her mouth. Just hope it all helps her get quick fast. Oh and they of course weighed her again. She had all her clothes on but weighed 17 pounds and 13 ounces. I cannot believe how fast she is growing!! I know I keep saying that, but I think that Riley was only 19 pounds 4 ounces at her 1 year check up. A great big thanks to Riley for being such a trooper and great helper on the impromptu doctor visit. Even when we had to run around like crazy since I had no diaper bag and Payton decided to make me a nice "gift"..... (I did have emergency diapers and wipes in the truck thankfully!)
