Oh No He Didn't

It gives me strength to know that even though Noodles is teething, he has started exploring his mouth with his hands. If anything, this video will show him as he embarks on his daily feeding therapy. He is making more and more sounds (and by sounds I mean cooing not crying). Of course he had his hands more in his mouth when he started, but we had to run to find the camera.

The process of feeding LJ his formula through his g-tube from setting up, measuring, pouring, flushing with water to the sacrifice of making our own baby food (the stuff in those jars smells funny according to Noodles)....Everybody is working hard to improve things- most importantly Lewis. But the practical reality is feeding and oral aversions are constantly in a state of adjustment. We've changed LJ's highchair so he has to do more work to strengthen his gut. And weight gain and development aside, he is showing us that we will just have to follow his lead. ( I will post another vimeo of his OT, but that is for another day)
