I feel bad

So I feel pretty terrible.
I started this new blog promising myself I'd paid more attention to it in ways I never did my old blog.
It's a little hard when I don't have many followers though (ie-1).
Not that that's WHY I'm doing this. I'm doing it for me, an outlet for everything I think and am going through. And I wanted to start fresh. I didn't really want most of the "friends" from high school and other moms I know on here just yet. I want totally new eyes and opinions. Some of the people I know are rather judgey. But I'm going to try harder from here on out. I'm not even really sure where I left off or what's been going on since I last wrote.
Let's start with Meredith I guess. She is 7 1/2 months old, and I don't know where the time went. If it goes fast with your first child, it goes LIGHTSPEED with the second!! I can still remember and feel sometimes being pregnant with her just a second ago......crazy. At her 6 month checkup they told me she was 50th percentile for weight, and 75th percentile for height. Well, she is currently wearing 9 month clothing, and has just jumped into 12 month pajamas!! At first I was just factoring in the weight, and so confused why she seemed to be outgrowing everything so quickly, when 50th percentile is absolutely average, but then last night my mom and I remembered how long/tall she is for her age, and I'm sure that's got a lot to do with it! Crazy still. My sweet little baby is getting too big too fast!!
She started her first foods on 7/19/11-Rice cereal. Then throughout July, August and even September we did the whole adding one new food/ingredient at a time. I'm sure I'm more of a worrywart about it then need be, but I always was worried about a bad reaction to something. After the individual foods with only one ingredient though, you have the ones like "Banana Plum Grape." Well, they make banana in a 1st food, but don't make plum or grape in a 1st food! So when you do that, you're really adding TWO new things at once to her diet. So I slowly integrated all those types of foods too, even though I am getting a feeling most moms don't worry about that type of thing once they get through those single-ingredient first foods. So by the end of September she had gotten through pretty much anything I wanted to introduce singly.
Rice cereal
Green Beans
Prunes
Apples
Peas
Squash
Carrots
Pears
Mango
Mixed Grain Cereal
Kiwi
Banana
Peaches
Spinach
Sweet Potatoes
Cinnamon
Pumpkin
"Mixed Berry"
Raspberry
Cherries
Apricots
Pineapple
Pomegranate
Corn

Then I had some organic baby food I had bought at a really cheap price with some different type of ingredients like "Yumberry"!


Now I just recently started her on the second foods dinner. I am doing the same dinner, 2 days in a row while I introduce them also. So far she's had:
Vegetable Beef
Apples and Chicken
Sweet Potatoes and Turkey
Turkey Rice (which is the first food ever that she didn't really seem to care for)
and tonight she tries Chicken Noodle.

So she's doing really great with eating it seems. A very good eater most of the time.
And she is a rolling maniac!!! Mostly likes to go from her belly to her back, but not a big fan of going vice versa.

Well I have to run for now as both kids need a diaper change. I hope to be able to hope back on here later.
