Eating Update


Mr. Ramsey has made BIG progress in the eating department. His eating lady now comes just every other week for about 30minutes or so and basically we just talk about his progression and things to start implementing. Cope being home and us actually sitting down to the dinner table has made a huge difference. He usually wants what were having and will point and whine until we give him some. We texturize his baby food with rice puffs to get him used to swallowing textures and now he hardly even notices it and rarely gags or spits them out. He is in an eating upswing at the moment and is eating a ton. Yeah! He still loves his milk and prefers it over water and juice any day. I have become much more relaxed about his eating which is probably making a big difference too. Ramsey knows his own mind and me pushing only makes it worse. So I'm more calm and Ramsey is doing great! I am so thankful for this. Our only issue right now is him wanting to stand up in his high chair. If that is our only battle at meal time right now...I'll take it!

Oooh, spaghetti? He looks like he is quite enjoying that! So glad to hear the eating is better! It's frustrating... Finley isn't a big eater but I am hoping to keep progressing.

That's so great. Ava eats crackers and cheese now. Lots and lots of puffs. and bananas but only in the net. We talked with her pediatrician a couple weeks ago and she was not concerned at all b/c she's gaining weight and still drinks lots of formula. She said both her girls wern't interested in food till they were like 10 months. So we're gonna talk more about it at her nine month check up in May. Right now though she said not to force the issue :) and to even stop offerin her food but maybe once a week if I want. But Ava loves sittin in her high chair and stuffing puffs and crackers in her mouth so at least she likes something. So I'm not going to take that away from her. Oh, and she likes juice from her nubby also.
