Operation Eating..day 1. 9:04pm

Okay.. Grace did soo well yesterday with strangers.. heehee..
maybe she was just performing!
 
No.. today went well.. Grace slept til 7:45am.. Wow!!
Then we had Breakfast..
this was her before picture..
She was using her Nuk, had her sippy cup on her tray, her chewing tube,
powdered up Rice Krispies on the tray, yogurt with sweet potatoe & apple on the right
and pears in the little blue cup in front.
 
She did really "drinking" her Pear smoothie..
gagged herself twice with the green chewing tube
and held her sippy cup for a little.
 
This was her after picture..soo
she did pretty good.. it's a good sign when her face is messy!!
 
 
Grace had OT today.. and then we went on errand to CVS..she did
great.. then off to vevo's house & back home for nap.
I'm thankful that Grace sleeps so well...she takes a good 2-3 hour nap every day
in the afternoon; and goes down between 7pm & 8pm for 10 hours.
She's growing for sure!!
 
We have not given up on the helmet (YET!)..however, we have it off
in these pictures because she had a pretty good size 'welt' on her head..
we see the helmet guy (don't get me started) next Friday..so he needs, again!
to fix it!  Her pedi advised us to put Benadryl on her head 4x's a day,
and leave the helmet off for a few days. 
 
I gotta say..I really ENJOY seeing her without it on!! 
We're waiting to see the plastic surgeon in Jan., on her views of if it's helped enough
to take it off!
 
 
 
Here's another feeding try after nap time:
 
She was not into it at all.. a powdered crouton and some water!
A couple of snapeas as well.. she likes to throw them on the floor
to hear me say, "Uh-oh"... LOL.
 
 
 
 
Oh.. by the way, her top tooth is coming in!!
she will never give it up in a picture though..but trust me I have felt it!
 
 
 
Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family!
Thanks for reading & keeping up with our family!
 
 
Love,
pattie & gary, Gracie & max
