Madelyn ate her first full container of baby food! It was sweet potatoes, and she loved them. No gagging, no spitting it out, she ate them, and did such a good job. I couldn't believe that when I kept offering her bites she just kept opening, (willingly) and ate. Now we've tried sweet potatoes lots of times, and she'd eat them, but she's never eaten this well. She's actually doing better with solids than Katelyn! It's funny because K does so well with her bottles, & Mady is starting to do better with solids. They are complete opposites. I'm just so excited, this is a breakthrough people!!! I really hope she keeps it up and starts enjoying food. YAY MADY!!!
YUMMMMY!

Where have I been lately? I swear I check in regularly, but since my last log-in, Katy has learned to crawl and Mady has learned to eat?! What progress! I am so impressed with those little girls--Yay, babies!
And maybe solids will be the answer to Mady's weight gain. Ava had a period of time where she went horizontally over the growth chart too, but once we started giving her more solids, she started to gain a little bit. Now the kid's a porker :) Better stock up on the sweet potatoes!
My son was born at 24 weeks on june 10 2005. He spent 8 months in neo and then was home for only four short days and into picu for a month. He feeds 20 hours a day with a gj tube, has cp, is deaf and has dystonia. I was reading that you said she was too young for this. Not true. By any chance was she on domperidone? My son does the same thing that you describe of your daughter with the facial movements. He just had a 24 hour emu study at sick kids in toronto and it did not show as seizures. I would really love to talk more to you.
Go Madelyn!!! Darsie's favorite is sweet potatoes, too! YUMMY!
