Jason is starting to master the art of drinking out of the cup. We can't believe how well he is doing and how much he is enjoying his milk. Orally we have managed 1015mls which is made up of 830mls paediasure, 85mls water and 100mls juice. Of that he drank out the cup 480mls all on his own. He is loving drinking and often asks for more now. Before school he drank 80mls and I syringed 80mls. At 15:00 he drank 250mls. I had given him 150mls and he drank that so fast and wanted more and at 19:00 he drank another 150mls. He gets really excited when it's time for his next "feed". He dashes off to the couch with his book and he sits there with his cup and we go through his books learning all the pictures.
This afternoon we had my 30 week scan and Jason got to see his little sister. He was VERY excited trying to climb on the bed with me and when the doctor gave me the scan pictures Jason took them and he walked around holding the pictures saying "baby" "baby". Very cute!
Today at school Jeanette painted his face. He was spider man today. Really cute. We cannot believe how much energy and how happy he is now. He is a different child. Jeanette also said how different he is and how he zooms around on the black bikes and is so full of energy and life. We are all really pleased!
We continue to offer him different foods and he is interested but not as much as the milk. At this stage Bruce and myself are just happy that he is getting his nutrition and if that's by milk we are fine with that. He is drinking on his own and he will eventually progress to "foods" and "meals".
