Addy is eating Solids YEA!

For those of you who didn't know. Addy has struggled eating anything but stage 1 and 2 baby foods. Every time we fed her anything with consistency she would gag and throw up.
We took her to the doctor and they thought it was because she did not know how to use her tongue. We had an upper GI done to make sure it wasn't anything in her throat or in her stomach causing the problem. The GI came back OK.
So we signed her up for an Up to three program that allows and Occupational therapist and a case worker to work with her in our home to assist her in making progress to eat foods.
Well she was not eating and even quit eating baby cereal which she would down before. She was only wanting a bottle. This scared us so we were asked to start putting a small 1/2 tsp of canola oil in her baby food to add fats that she wasn't getting.

This week she saw me eating a cinnamon roll we had made together the night before. LOL she loves to be in the kitchen helping cook. :)

Well I gave her a small amount and she ate it without throwing up. YEA!


So we tried Peaches and she loves them. This is her eating the peaches she is concentrating very hard to make sure she picks them up right. She is doing lots better. Which is good.
We thought maybe with all the stress in our home through the past couple months with the death of Zach that she was feeling it and showing her stress through not eating. But she is doing so much better...
This was huge progress and we are excited to have some progress....
