Lately...

Just stopping in to say hello, leave a few pictures, and catch you all up on what's been happening around here. 

Wyatt has been trying some more new foods, including puffs. He doesn't love feeding himself, except when they fall out of his mouth. He gets a little angry about it and forces it back in his mouth. We have started playing around with location of food on his try to see if putting it on an angle, closer to him (it's on a large binder here) will help put it in his field of vision to help him see it better. Since food really is just for fun because all of his calories are fed through his tube, we are able to try and manipulate his environment a little and experiment with placement. We are noticing, though, we can only experiment with things other than avocado... he loves avocado too much to mess around with it. Haha. 

Last weekend we went to the Food Truck Festival, which was at a local FarmPark. We looked at the animals and then ate our way through the festival. Wyatt got some up close and personal time with some animals and laughed hysterically when the sheep licked his toe. Daddy had to lift up the stroller so Wyatt could see the pigs. 

The boys playing while we waited for our friends to arrive! 

Wyatt had pool therapy this week and is really making progress in the pool. He's always a little hesitant when he starts, but warms up quickly. He is working on weight bearing and sitting in the pool. The hope is with less weight when he's in the pool, he can strengthen some of his muscles. His low tone causes a lot of challenges for him, so the water can remove some of those barriers and we can help him work on things differently than when he is out of the water. 

He continues PT 2-3 times a week and he is typically less than thrilled about it. His therapists make him work and he's often vocal about his displeasure. Thankfully we know it's often just voicing his annoyance (no tears...) and not pain. 

Today he did great at PT and even smiled at one point! 

We have a GI and pulmonology appointment next week, so cross your fingers and toes for some added ounces and the green light from GI to try some new food textures. Pulmonology is just a follow up from the sleep study & a check up to make sure he's doing well from a respiratory standpoint.
