Gabe's tongue is healing quite nicely. I have a friend that assured me the tongue can take a beating; she pierced her's twice and was amazed at how quickly the hole closed up! So, he is doing good. He caught some beach volleyball on TV briefly on Sunday afternoon with Craig and didn't you know, he started pretending he was serving with his soccer ball! Man, those baby brains are sponges, lol.
He still likes to walk around, holding on to one of our fingers, and can stand well alone, but hasn't taken any more independent steps like he did a week ago. I know he is making progress and will walk when he is ready.
The eating situation is improving. The gagging has lessened a lot. Ironically, after biting his tongue, his appetite increased. Yogurt is probably his favorite food right now, but he ate a whole container of YoBaby yogurts in one sitting last week; he's never done that before. He will now eat what I give him, IF he likes it. We started giving him mostly Stage 3 Gerber stuff, and he has started getting used to the chunks! He will eat some, and then start spitting some out. Vast improvement over not knowing what to do with it and gagging, right? What I do sometimes, is mix some applesauce with a chunky meat food and he really likes that. Sweet and savory can go good together, yum.
Still pretty cautious on finger foods, but he will lick and suck on stuff if he likes the taste.
In other news, I've changed the name, focus and location of my other blog, "Chronicle of a News Junkie". It is now "The Cafe au lait Chronicles", located here, and the new post there explains the reason for the change.
That's all for now!
