YUM YUM......PABLUM!

Alistair's First Feed EVER!!!!
Yessiree we have started the good ol' messy pablum and he is in heaven with the stuff! Ya I know its a little early but when we were down having the feeding study preformed the OT recommended an early start due to the possibility of him acquiring oral confusion. So by starting early we may get around that. Well the kid thinks its the best stuff ever. He literally hums through the whole feeding and I've already thickened it up pretty good and he tolerates it quite well. No choking but lots of pablum art occuring...LOL The little gaffer has given us a few nice surprises lately. Just yesterday he decided it was about time he stopped laying flat on his back and started rolling to his side with bigs smiles on board. Then this morning he nearly got right over on his tummy. This of course made me all extremely happy as he obviously has it in him to progress and develop forward. As Jason says..."the kid isn't going to be 7 and laying on his back there hun!" Well if you know me I was worried about it..but hey I have found out that that is a part of what motherhood is about. Once one thing has cleared up you seem to literally dig for another to get worried about. Its amazing really when I think back of all the things I don't have to worry about anymore....no feeding/latching issues, no pumping off milk before each feeding, no more blocked tear duct, no holding Alistair upright for an hour after each feed, he's had his 4 month immunizations and he didn't react, the CT is over, his lungs seem clear and working as they should, he's vocalizing, he's put his hands to his mouth.....like wow thats a ton not to worry about so bonus for that! And like I said its just nice to know he is progressing even if its at his own rate!...Jason got one whole trailer full of stuff down thanks to the help of his sister Bonita with packing! Now just a few more and we can get the rest in the spring! Bonus for that!....Now for house hunting in PG. We've decided to look at fixer uppers but the last was more like a demolisher! ......Well I had better run as Alistair and I are off to the Paeds Unit here in PG for a interview. WHOOP WHOOP were gonna be on the telly! I'll tell you more about that later!....
