We had a great time last week when Nan (Mitch's mom) came to visit. We sat around and played with Casher and adored him! It's a tough job. Nan was here to go to a doctor's appointment with us. All in all Cash is doing great. He is healthy and thriving. The GI doctor is concerned that he isn't gaining weight consistently. He is 17 lbs and in the 3rd percentile for weight - so he is little and hasn't gained weight like they would like to see. But he is eating more and more solids and finally switching to a regular formula. He still has the g-tube in his tummy. The doctors keep saying 'what if he would get very sick and need the feeding tube' so it is still in for the moment.
He is voicing his opinion about everything these days. From babbling (dadadadaaa) to grunting in frustration or excitement, he is staying busy. You can just see in his eyes how badly he wants to get on the move. He isn't crawling yet. He loves to stand up and see the world. He gets a very satisfied smile on his face when we help him stand up. As per requests, a video is coming soon!
It was so great to visit Casher and his family. Jack and Ginny were glad to see me, too. Cash is doing VERY well and loves opening the cupboards to see what there is to eat. He'll be motivating very soon and eating solids with his four teeth. Cute to the max.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he had a great time! :) Poor Ben gets so frustrated he can't crawl either. Maybe these guys will walk and never crawl. Ben's already trying to pull up so he may just skip the crawling.
