Feeding Therapy Graduate!

Today was a big day for our little peanut. She saw Nancy, her feeding therapist, for the last time. Brie of course ate very well in therapy today and even took a few bites off of a fork. At this point Nancy feels that she is doing well and that we only need to see her if there is a problem. Brie will now eat foods of various textures and likes things with more of a strong taste. She prefers Mexican. Right now her favorite foods seem to be spicy. She likes mommy's buffalo chicken dip, spicy taco meat, and chili. Brie also loves freeze dried fruits and veggies. She eats dried apricots, raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries all day. Brie also likes fish. We were a little leery of trying it with her but it has been a hit! So far she has had tilapia and haddock. Tonight she ate about 1/4 of a piece of tilapia! Her new trick is spitting things out, but we have just been shoving them back in until she finally swallows them. We just need to stay one step ahead of her.

With regards to growth over the last month Brie has gain about a pound. Last night she was 17 lbs 5.5 oz and using our growth chart she was 27.5 inches so she is growing. I think she just goes in spurts. The last 2 days she has been eating pretty well so hopefully that will continue.
