On the road to weaning...

Ok bloggies....(see video below)

Our dietitian came by last week and said Luke gained 1 lb this past month on baby food! We did not raise the formula (that goes through his gbutton) last month...instead we raised the baby food quantity and he gained!! We were so excited as that is our first sign of tube weaning.

So, from this point forward, we will not increase the formula through the tube anymore. We will increase his baby food as his nutrition charts show each month for his height/weight.

I'm hoping in the next month or so we will be able to CUT the tube feeding amount and then the process begins! It's so exciting.

Here's our little mister eating "Nanna's". (BANANA's) He doesn't actually say "Nanna" but for some reason we find ourselves saying it that way. Not good speech therapy skills...but it's so cute to say.

Oky Doky...enjoy! I do realize that this is a seriously long process. But, I wanted to post our first official accomplishment!
