She eats!




Tatum has finally started eating solids a bit. She seems to prefer the green veggie/fruit mixed (peas, pears and spinach, etc.) vs. plain fruits. I have been mixing her foods with oatmeal cereal to make it more of a meal. She is also enjoying eating puffs but her new love is nawing on a graham cracker. She really loooooves a sippy cup of water and gets herself super wet. She is still nursing a whole lot which is just fine with me. Keeping those healthy pounds on her.
She had her visit with the home health care nurse from the state the other day (babies in Arizona who spent longer than a week in the nicu get a visit from a nurse for a year!). She weighed 21 pounds 8 oz. I will take her in for her 9 month check up next week and see how accurate the nurse's scale was. She is one big girl! In other news, she is a bit lazy in the movement department. She tested in the "gray" area for gross motor skills. This little girl prefers to live on my hip. I am not too worried about her....she will get moving when she is ready.

Let me wipe the tears from my eyes, her SMILE melts my heart!!! She is such an amazing little girl! She is a girl who knows what she wants and when she wants it, just like food, in her time she will do it. Tatum and Layla are so lucky to have such amazing and patient parents. Keep up the great work!
