"Break Through"

We have exciting news for this week. Teeth. Aidan's two lower front teeth have now broken through. He has been chewing on everything.

Also, some not so exciting news, Aidan's reflux and spitting up has gotten worse recently. At least once or twice a day he will spit up an entire feeding. This has become so frequent that we have started placing beach towels on the floor to catch the splatter. I was getting tired of cleaning up the carpet every day. Wish I would have figured out the towel idea sooner. We have now switched to a third medication and are using premixed formula instead of powder. We think that the powdered formula was putting too much air in his tummy. When you shake it to mix, it becomes very foamy. It seems that there are a lot of air bubbles mixed in with the formula that he has to swallow. I hope this works.

Here are some video's and pics of him eating cold fruit. He likes this much better than baby food. It seems that he only wants to eat what we are eating. In this video he is chewing on a nectarine. I was trying to encourage him to eat. So I sat and had a snack with him. It did get him to eat, just not his food.

Since Aidan seemed to like fresh fruit so much I went and got him a "Safe Feeder". I put a large piece of pear in it. He ate the entire thing.

We are still working on tummy time and sitting up. We have to be creative so that he doesn't realize what is going on. Here he thinks he is just playing with daddy's face.

He would rather lounge than sit up. Little stinker.

Aidan loves these blocks. I keep hoping that he will suddenly start sitting up on his own while playing.
