Nutrition

Wheat thins dipped into a cup of vanilla pudding.  Also a cup of yogurt over homemade granola.  Yum.  But this is not a post about my nutrition, although it could use some improving.  :-)

Angelee likes to eat chocolate pudding, yogurt, and applesauce.  Yesterday she ate a pureed banana, and today she tried the pureed pancakes (?).  Evidently they were ok, because she ate them.  She has been eating some, but not drinking.  Proper hydration is so important to being healthy.  If she doesn't drink enough, they have to keep her feeding tube in to keep liquids going in.  She wasn't sucking hard enough to get anything through a straw, and she wasn't interested in a sippy cup.  But this morning, she chugged 6 ounces from a bottle.  She doesn't want the bottle this afternoon, but hopefully she'll start getting more by mouth soon.
