Carter is still a very happy baby. He has recently discovered that his feet are very cool things to play with. He's "talking" a lot more and laughs with his whole body. He's rolling all over the place, and is tolerating a little more time on his tummy. He moves his hands with much more purpose, meaning he reaches for toys, grasps them and brings them in to his body (mostly they go straight into his mouth); it also means he reaches for and pulls my hair when I'm close to him!
We continue to struggle with Carter's feeds and vomiting. Dr. M and Leah (OT) are working very hard with us to get it resolved. He's on a new medicine that we think is working very well--it's cut the vomiting from 6x a day to 3x a day and he's more comfortable when he eats. We see Leah 2x a week and Carter also gets Craniosacral Therapy (CST) 1x a week. After 4 looooooooooooong weeks, we had the NG tube put back in as you will see in the pictures. We'll go back to Duke for a check-up with the Clinic soon, so I'm anxious to see what they have to say. On a good note, we have FINALLY been able to transition him from the stupid Nuk nipple to the Dr. Brown's.
I couldn't decide which pictures to post, so I put quite a few into a video. You might notice that he doesn't have any ECU stuff (hint, hint).
