I can't believe it has almost been a month since I posted. Time flies with Charlie. This past month has had amazing moments - he now has three teeth, is a full on crawler and loves to share he new found love of chatter. We have also had a few more challenges and adjustments. Charlie now attends a home daycare with several other children. We are just starting to get in the swing of this and he seems to really enjoy all the kids around him three days a week. Now, the biggest challenge has been that at his nine month appointment we learned he has fallen off the growth curve for height and gone down in weight. We go back to the doctor on March 18th to remeasure him and hope he has grown! Because of his struggles with food intake we have gone to a Pediatric Speech Therapist to give us some pointers on helping Charlie learn how to eat.
As you can see - he likes his spinach! I know you are waiting at the edge of your seat to find out what foods he does like to eat now. I can tell you milk isn't his favorite. That is our one struggle still. His favorites are: roasted fruits (bananas, peaches, pears, apples) with cinnamon, roasted red peppers with goat cheese, oatmeal, plain yogurt, spinach, broccoli, and zucchini. Things he isn't fond of: potatoes (white or sweet), carrotts, squash, and pretty much any other grain (unless mommy can disguise it really well in fruit). Tom finds this interesting as he grew up on meat and potatoes and didn't eat green veggies. His son is the opposite at this point!
