I was attempting to feed Caleb tonight and he really got into it. He really likes chicken with gravy! He started smacking his lips and I realized I had to get it on video, this was the most he has eaten yet. I am so proud of him. Slow and steady wins the race! I also started giving him a sippy cup. He has not really drank a lot from it but he doesn't mind it being in his mouth and he does suck on it a little bit. On Friday when the feeding therapist came by to see us she said based on what she was seeing that day that Caleb should start eating normally in a few months. I asked if by his birthday was a reasonable date to aim for and she said she didn't think it would be that long! I am so so so happy!
Caleb is learning very quickly, he is such a stinker he keeps pulling his MicKEY extension piece off..
Since he has started teething he keeps gagging himself with his fingers because he loves chewing on them, forget the teething rings!
We are almost home so I am so very happy!
Enjoys the video!
Ernestine and Caleb
The internet ate your video. It's not on the post. Try again at night when the hospital network works better.
ReplyDeleteI'm exited to hear he is eating so well. He is a trooper. He is just overcoming challenges like they were minor bumps not minor mountains.
He is a stinker but I think it's because he's smart. I bet he's one of those little boys that takes things apart to see how they work... sigh. Life gets it's revenge for when I was a stinker taking dads stuff apart as a kid. :D
Can't wait to see both of you again! I hope Caleb does not cry when Grandma wants to hold him.
ReplyDeleteI can not WAIT to start teaching him all sorts of important things he must know to grow into a fine upstanding young man!!! To start with I think I will teach him my japanese pig face and then on to fish lips.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the video. That boy is definitely going to be something else!
