8/5 months old

Connor's Caring Bridge site will no longer allow me to add photos, so I decided we would go to blog spot. :)

Age: 8 months actual/ 5 months adjusted
wt: 13lbs 7.5oz
clothes: 3-6 months (FINALLY!! YAY!)

Connor is doing ok. His feeding aversion seem to have gotten worse lately. He absolutely refuses a spoon now. He was working on drinking his formula from a cup, but has recently started refusing that as well. Pretty much every feed I try a bottle, sippy cup, open cup, or syringe....sometimes we have a LITTLE luck but most of the time it is a no-go.

Speech therapy continues to come twice a week and recently has started Connor with a Z-Vibe. It is a small vibrating "toy" that goes in his mouth to help stimulate his mouth and tongue. Basically, he isn't digging it when it is vibrating but he will chew on it like crazy if it is off.

He goes for weight checks weekly and the doctors want him to be gaining at least 4oz per week, so a pound a month. Sheesh, it is definitely a slow gain but so far he seems to be accomplishing this.

The most exciting update.....He gets his button on Dec.8th, so next Thursday!! Right now he has a long gtube hanging from his abdomen. Once he gets his button it will be a small piece that we use extension tubing to access it...which will make it out of sight for this little boy to be pulling on!
