Mmmm Pancakes

We have been working extra hard on eating over here at the Davis household. Dylan seems to be making great progress! I think we just may be on track to having his feeding tube out by the time he turns 6. That makes us very happy parents! Hopefully the winter time and sickness won't set us back too far this year. I have been trying to have him sit down to a meal at least 2 times a day even if he only takes 1 or 2 bites of what is on his plate. Some days are better than others. It is a pretty big transition for him to participate in meal time. For so long we had to avoid cooking smells and even being around food so that we could decrease the vomiting and stress. We are so happy to say that sometimes we go several days without vomiting. It is AWESOME....especially when you consider how much he vomited for the first couple yrs of his life.



His favorite foods/snacks this week are...

~Cheesy noodles: easy mac with extra cheese mixed in
~Pancakes dipped in syrup
~Cheese crackers (handisnack) He only likes cheese spread on 3/4 of the cracker so that he can hold the end with no cheese. He doesn't like dirty fingers!
~Monkey Arms (Lucky charms) He only eats the marshmallows
~Chocolate candies: Reeses
~Skittles
~Gia (yogurt) Lemon or peach flavors
~Apples- He likes to carry a slice around and nibble on it
~Pepsi or Dr. Pepper

Some people may be appalled when I give my child sugary caffeinated beverages and candy. Judge us...we don't care! We are so happy with anything he puts in his mouth! One of my favorite quotes from his GI doc is "I don't care what he eats...sugar, fat, candy, pop...as long as it is a positive experience. We will fix his habits, his teeth, and his heart in another decade!" Oh I love her!



This mister is such a cutie! I love how peaceful he looks when he sleeps. I LOVE that he still naps about 3 hrs every day. I am so tired these days that many times I join him!


On another note...2 more days until the big ultrasound! Big brother still insists that it is a sister. We shall see! We don't care either way, we'd just like him/her to stay put until March!
