Twenty Months

Noah continues to do VERY well on his dairy/soy free diet. We have now blended and strained every vegetable we could find as well as seafood, pork, turkey, beef, and chicken into his food. We are working hard to figure out exactly how much to feed Mr. Man as well as how often. Because Noah doesn't understand hunger and is unable to tell us when he is full, we are relying on his growth and amount of wet/dirty diapers to help guide us.

Noah's current stats are:

Weight: 29 pounds
Height: 33 inches

The Great Food Experiment - Day Eleven

Things are going GREAT!!!!!!

It's been a whole week since Noah has vomited.

That's seven whole days...one hundred sixty-eight hours...ten thousand eighty minutes...since I've seen the wave of nausea wash over my Little Man's eyes and I've had to quickly grab for the nearest towel {of which we learned to have plenty around}.

We've never even had two days in a row without one puking episode from Stinkpot, so this is HUGE people! HUGE!!!

I think we can unofficially declare that Noah is allergic to/unable to digest dairy and soy. We'll just add that to the uniqueness of our Little Man!

Happy Birthday Mama!!!!!!!

Happy birthday Mama!
I love you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!

Huntington Lake...again

We were blessed to spent another gloriously relaxing weekend up at Huntington Lake. Noah truly enjoyed himself this time. He learned to sign the word "outside" and wanted to spend ALL day out on the deck. He loved to push the Tonka truck all around,
swing on the swing,
play with his toys,and hang out with his best buddy.Sierra, once again, got to swim in the lake and found the most perfect stick. It seemed to follow her everywhere she went.
Here is Noah signing "music". He does this every time Elmo, Ernie, and Cookie Monster sing.
The weekend was filled with a roaring fire in the fireplace, trips to the lake, and naps for all. What a wonderful way to bid farewell to summer and spend time together as a family.

The Great Food Experiment - Day Five

I am happy to report that Noah seems to be doing quite well on his new diet. In the past five days he has only vomited three times. That's UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! We've had single days where he has vomited more than that.

We continue to blend chicken and vegetables and are getting better at straining it so it is thin enough to flow through Noah's feeding pump.

We traveled out of town this past weekend and had a much harder time feeding Noah. In the past we would just bring a can of formula and scoop, add water, shake and feed. This weekend, we traveled with several large containers of blended food and ice packs in an adorable Picnic Thermal Tote {available through Thirty-One Gifts}.
We had to keep his food refrigerated and only pour what we needed at each feed.

We have been introducing Noah to different vegetables each time we make a "batch" of food and so far have not seen any allergic reactions.

I look forward to seeing how Noah does over the next week!
