The joys of having two boys.

9 Month checkup tomorrow...

and some questions to ask the doctor. Noah still baffles me a lot of times.

For the past 2 weeks, whenever Noah eats any kind of jared baby food, he vomits shortly after. I just don't get it. The only thing I can think of is his reflux, but I don't know. Today I gave him something that had a little bit of strawberry flavoring to it, and after about 3 swallows, he started vomiting. He didn't start it until I gave him some of the baby yogurt a few weeks ago, and every time he eats fruit now it makes him sick. Needless to say, we've tried to stay away from it, but at least 2-3 times a week he does it lately. He won't take a bottle. His therapist has given me some squeezeable juice boxes that have straws in them, and you squeeze a little and it squirts it into his mouth. He LOVES them, but he will NOT take formula in them. He makes a horrible face and refuses after a few squirts. He will take a whole thing of pedialyte, water, anything but formula. I'm going to talk to his doctor about that too...I don't know if there's a better formula for him to be on, or if I need to try something else like pediasure or what, but he's got to continue taking fluids...preferrably formula! He definitely keeps us on our toes!! I was also going to get her opinion on if he needs to continue seeing the speech pathologist. They aren't doing anything more than what his occupational therapist does with him as far as eating goes, so I don't know that it's that necessary, but I'll see what she thinks. Kids kids kids...hopefully I can get some answers!!

We have to be at the hospital at 6:30am on Thursday for his test...I just hope that they find something...
