Bubble babies

 

10 months old

Ava is 10 months old. She weighs 16 lbs and is 26 1/2 inches long. Ava still isn't crawling or making any attempts at it. She will be having an evaluation with the Idaho infant toddler program, in the near future. Ava says mama and dada. She "growls" when you growl at her. It is quite hilarious. Noah loves to growl back and forth with her. Ava has an incredibly ticklish belly, and giggles loudly when tickled. Ava still doesn't tolerate any food with texture. She is strictly on puree and the occasional bite of solid (or paper which she is attracted to) she bites and attempts to swallow, she gags and throws up. Its lovely! Ava has become very picky when it comes to the fruits and vegetables she will eat or not. She likes anything with bananas and dislikes anything that is green.

 

Tummy Time

Ava finally tolerates being on her tummy. She might become mobile after all.

 

GI follow-up

Ava had her follow-up with the GI dr today, and the dr put Ava back on 24 cal milk to help her grow. Most likely she will be on that until she is 1 year old. She also started taking an appetite stimulant. Hopefully, this will help her grow!

More snow play

Andy was shoveling the snow around the cars so Noah went outside and enjoyed playing in the snow. I am a wimp and don't like to get cold, so I don't take the kids outside.

mmm Bacon!

Ava experiencing bacon for the first time. This wasn't really on the list of approved new foods, but all she did was suck off the fat and salt. No harm done!

Snow play and Bath play

We got our first real snow of the year, so I took Ava out in Noah's old snow suit to experience it and take pictures. She wasn't terribly impressed! It was just too cold, and the snow was coming down pretty fast.

Noah and Ava played in the tub. Ava is finally stable enough sitting that I don't have to have my hand 2 inches from her. They had a great time together!
