Feeding Update Friday: Week Nine

This Monday we went to The Children's Institute in Pittsburgh for a follow-up appointment.  They were very pleased with his progress, but also think that he is ready to move on from all purees to more table foods.  This is a huge step, and one that is going to shake things up a bit.

Measuring and recording how much table food G eats is not an easy task.  It's hard to keep track of calories he is taking in because measuring table food is difficult.  Because of this transition to more table foods, we are working on a better system to track what he's eating and you will also see a huge decrease in the volume of food that he is taking in.  It does not mean that he is doing poorly or regressing, it is a step in the right direction to eating typical toddler foods.

Because of this change, Feeding Update Fridays are going to look a bit different.  Instead of listing volumes, I'll just be listing the different foods that G is trying out.  This week, we were trying to get ourselves into the new system, and did a terrible job trying to write things down, so instead, enjoy a picture of G enjoying some Halloween treats!
