We have lift off!


At least it feels that way! We got the "all clear" from her pediatrician and surgeon to start feeding anything and everything we can get down her (within reason of course). And as you can see we've wasted no time! Green beans and rice cereal were on the menu today with a swallow of milk ... and I do mean a swallow. Interestingly she didn't like the green beans until I added the rice. Obviously it's a texture thing with this girl. We'll continue the feeding schedule through the tube and everything else is just bonus. She weighed in at a whopping 12 lbs and 12 ozs yesterday.
And if this news isn't exciting enough ... she rolled over from her tummy to her back yesterday! Yes ... I cried.

That is too cute! Evan had texture issues too and didn't really take to well to baby foods, he preferred real food like what mommy and daddy ate.
