So what’s new in Ashlyn’s world? Food. She’s eating food now.. kind of. We’ve been able to get her to eat three food items: banana, avocado, and pear. At this point more of the food ends up on her bib instead of on her stomach, but she’s learning to eat and that’s a step forward. Her favorite so far is the pear. About half of the banana makes it down, about a fourth of the avocado, but most of the pear is making it in. A-pear-antly, she likes the sweeter fruits. See what I did there? That noise you just heard was Heather groaning, but I think she’s secretly hoping that Ashlyn will inherit my incredible sense of humor.
We’ll continue to try new foods as she gets older, but of course we have to be pretty selective at this point due to her age.
Also, last night was the first night that Ashlyn slept all the way through the night. There was a slight panic moment when I first woke up, because for the past five months we've been waking up multiple times a night. The past week or so has been spent cutting back on food at night, hoping that Ashlyn will stop wanting to wake up. It seems to be working. And here's a random picture of Ashlyn excitedly petting Nala. She likes kitties.
