Weight gain and our first halloween!

This is so great that I get to write about some great news! First and most important Jonathan is officially 13lbs 2.2ozs YAHOO!!!! He is eating about 26 to 30 ozs of milk a day I know it seems like a lot, when the last time we were feeding him he was only taking about 17 to 19 ozs now granted he is getting bolused (feed through his nose) for the majority but we are getting his tummy bigger and the best thing he is tollerating it! Hopefully he will only need the tube for a little while. Justin and I have thought about going to a feeding clinic there is one in grand rapids and another in Ohio that could help wean him from needing the tube and being able to take more fluids in before he tuckers out. However he will be starting to eat soon so he won't need all the fluids. This is very interesting though, if you remember he was eating a fruit and veggie everyday we have since taken him off everything except his milk even his cereal and now he doesnt want anything to do with it!! He does LOVE breadsticks he will suck on them for a good 5 minutes and he loves noodles, we have him play with lots of foods just so he doesn't get any oral aversion from the tube maybe he will be a carb junkie like his mommy! The OT said he could just be tired of the real smooth textures and want more lumpier foods, I don't know I think we are going to play it safe for now and maybe next month or I should say later this month introduce new things!


Our first halloween it was such a beautiful day our little man was tigger and the cutest tigger at that! We went to a few houses and that was enough. A few people commented on how cute he was and of course the guessing how old he is, some said 4 months and another said 5 months oh well at least hes tall(27") and I think he will catch up esspecially with a mom and dad that LOVE food! Please pray for continued growth. We love you all!
