One of the things that our speech therapist recommended for Brendan is that he should sit with Trevor at meal time, watch him eating, and participate as much as he would like to. He should be allowed to get food on his fingers and try to put it in his mouth. He should play with spoons. He should get little tastes even though he is not eating any real amount of food. I think he did a great job today, he really enjoyed it, and he may have ingested 1/4 of a teaspoon of Pear-Squash baby food and liked it.

The boys each in their cool highchairs.

Brendan was still putting his hands in his mouth a lot because his second little tooth is close to cutting through

He did a good job with his spoon, and got a bit of food in his mouth (plus some in his eyelashes and some in his eyebrow)

Trevor usually gets fed, but seeing Brendan made him want to do it by himself too!

Every day we will have to continue to work with Brendan and let him explore foods in the most positive way that we can!

Trevor decided that he was done with his mobile today and kicked it over the rail

He was just trying to make the point that his crib was too small!

Good thing that the new big crib arrived today!! Look how spacious!

Trevor making sure that he has “claimed” this crib by licking it.

Meanwhile, Brendan got a tour of the house with his mobile oxygen tank today. He was needing to escape his corner for a while. He also went to the kitchen for a nice bubble bath.
Gramma got to help with the bath and combed out his fuzzy head.

Brendan’s colon test was scheduled for Monday morning. As soon as he has that test, we will be waiting for a surgery date!
