Trying new things

Jolianne is having a great day today and is trying something new. They have changed her feeding to every 3 hours instead of a continuous feed all of the time. They have also started letting her practice taking a bottle. Today she weighs 5.7 pounds. She looks so healthy. I was noticing in her pictures that she looks like she is filling out more. Here are some pics that we took today with the speech therapist.






Jolianne is tasting formula for the first time on her pacifier.



















I am holding her while the speech therapist gives her the bottle.







I changed her diaper and she woke up a little more, then I got to give her the bottle. She didn't take very much today. We are going to try again tomorrow when she is more hungry from her change to 3 hour feeds. We will keep trying so that she gets use to what she is suppose to do. With babies who have been tube fed it doesn't really sink in at first that they have to work for the food. They are use to it just going into their stomach. One day at a time, we will take baby steps ;)
