Not About Food

I decided to not post about feeding therapy, but since I don't do much else I've just ended up not posting. Since Noah is really a cutie and is growing like crazy since starting feeding therapy (a pound in 2 weeks!) I figured I would do a picture post to show you what else is going on in Noah's life.
#1 the implant: Noah's doing a great job listening (and even has a few words already!). A highlight for me is when the speech therapist brings out the little plastic snake and Noah says "sssss"- this is a sound he never heard before. I added scrapbooking stickers to the headpiece caps. What do you think?
#2 play skills: Noah's really into some early imaginitive play and is finally starting to stack blocks. He's also learned to kick a ball thanks to Jill the Recreation Therapist at the feeding program.




#3 Easter: I'm apparently really bad at taking Easter pictures. Noah looked adorable, but alas no pics. Here is Noah's last year Easter picture - his first time to church ever (I told you, I'm really bad at it).


Noah wasn't even prop sitting and could only roll onto his side last Easter. What a difference a year makes!

just surfing through and saying hello.
your title made me laugh....a good laugh, i assure you because food has been the center of m,y life since we brought home our own 24 weeker. he is now 5 and such a little boy but i still recall those days of feeding issues, therapies and public floggings over my baby's "failure to thrive". i could tell you it gets better...it does, i pro mise, but then again, i spent 20 minutes after dinner convincing the4 boy he could chew and swallow 1/3 of a cheese ravioli and live to tell the tale.
thankfully i have 4 older, full-term kiddos who remind me daily, even hourly this is just another part of my normal life.
take care and nice to meet you.

You know what I really love about the last picture (besides Noah's adorable self)? All the burp cloths. We have that same theme going on a lot of the time here, as well.

Glad Noah is doing so well. I love the concentration on his little face as he stacks those blocks.

I love the picture of him feeding the baby doll. It's precious...
