A few updates in the Camden world....

Camden has been staying healthy and we are super thankful for that. Crawling around a lot and slowly cruising along furniture. Funny thing he still doesnt roll....weird. He is like a turtle on its back... We are still doing OT here at the house once a week and his OT is very happy with his progress.

Still has just the six teeth...

Still no words, ( besides the occasional mamamama) just hums and "ahhs" and the peewee herman(ew) laugh that is hysterical. It is so fake and so funny!

Doing great with the o2, only at night but now seems to be needing it only a few times a week, with the j bunn.

Forgot to mention we are trying a new feeding tube...the Mini One. Been a few weeks, and no leaks with it. Much more secure, until today when my 13 yr old ripped it out. GRR! He doesnt go online, so I can vent here. ;) He felt bad, but the balloon didnt burst and I put it back in. I was a bit emotional ( ok, I was crying) because it was hurting Camden and he was bleeding. So over the tube feeding, but it is what it is. He will not put anything in his mouth. Im making him play in food more this week. We did stage 1 sweet potatoes on his highchair with a spoon and he smacked it and touched it. That is a big step. Another interesting thing is that when WE eat, he licks and smacks his lips. It looks as if he is begging for food! Of course you offer him some, and (besides the occasionally surprising lick) he shakes his head no or growls at you to leave him alone.
I am also starting him on a blenderized diet. I am not wanting to give him a toddler formula 24/7. I want him to have real food. Fruits and veggies. So, I got with my nutritionist and we are starting with a simple recipe. I will do this during the day feeds, then start him on pediasmart feed at night to make up for needed calories. Cant wait to try it!
Still have to get him into the allergists to see if we can find out why the breakout with pediasure.

We are down to an hour for one feed now. ( sounds like a long time to some, but that is great for us) I am hoping this new diet doesnt cause a huge set back because I know I need to start it out a bit slower to see how he tolerates it.

he is signing:
yes
please
all done
milk
no ( his made up "no")
dad
mom
and today he did cat for the first time =) he loves the cats out front and want to grab them, but they are way mean! :s
I have been slacking on teaching new signs and need to get on the ball...

weighing 22 pounds now at almost 15 mths.
