21 months

       It is hard for us to believe that Aiden is already 21 months old.  In just three months we will be celebrating his 2nd birthday! He is growing so fast and learning so many new things!  He is on the move and hardly ever slows down it seems.  Aiden is constantly exploring and has now learned to climb! We are so thankful to report that for the past month we have not had to make one trip to the doctor! This is such a blessing for us because Aiden stayed sick most of the winter. We are so grateful to God for keeping Aiden well!!!

         Aiden is showing lots of progress with his feeding therapy.   He has finally learned that food is fun!  He still does not eat a large amount but he is finally starting to explore new foods.  Just this past week he ate almost all of his lunch one day at daycare.  This is a major accomplishment for Aiden!  He usually eats only a few bites.  His progress is slow, but progress is progress!  His favorite foods to eat are spaghetti, bananas, grapes, and crackers.  For now we are still using his tube to supplement and maintain his weight.  We are still doing bolus feedings through the tube and he is tolerating larger amounts of the formula now.  This makes the tube feedings go quicker.  This is a really good thing considering it is very hard to keep Aiden still long enough to do his feedings!  Thankfully, Aiden has never pulled on or messed with his tube.  He knows it is there but really just does not bother it, which is pretty amazing to me. 

      I'm amazed everyday at all Aiden has accomplished since coming into this world.  He has already overcome so many obstacles! There is no doubt God has been with him and our family every step of the way.  We are so blessed to serve an amazing Savior that never leaves or forsakes us! Thanks again to all those that have prayed for Aiden along the way.  We are so thankful to each one of you for the love and support shown to our special little boy!
