My first real food!





Elijah ate his first non-milk meal tonight--rice cereal! He appeared to enjoy it, as he slurped and spit it all over the place.

We did decide to get him into see an ENT, so his first appointment is next week. Hopefully we can figure out why he is so wheezy and squeaky. Wednesday is his PT appointment and I've been trying sooo hard to get his neck stretched out as much as possible and turned to the side without the flat spot so we can avoid the helmet.

He has shown very positive signs of maturing in the past week or two. We can actually lay him down for a nap and get him to sleep! We do have to soothe him every now and then, but we don't mind....he's actually napping!

Real food - that's huge. Just wait, pretty soon he'll have favorite foods and everything - how exciting! Good luck with the pt later this week!

Rice cereal rocks! Glad to see he's eating up a storm and sleeping a tad better. As always, you guys are in our prayers.

luv, Kendis
