I guess I didn't realize how long it's been since I posted. CJ's eating is still very up and down. Saturday and Sunday he didn't eat very much at all and wasn't interested in eating. I didn't write down what he did eat though so now I don't remember.(o well) I know he did drink real well and drank probably a cup of milk on both days. On Monday we started the day out about the same. I couldn't get him to eat any breakfast but for lunch he ate some pineapple and a couple baby carrots and then for dinner we had ham and corn on the cob and he ate a teaspoon of ham and 3 ears of corn. (AWESOME). I guess the best part was that he ate all of that so fast that he finished eating shortly after everyone else. Today (day 11) Grandma said that he ate well for her also. He ate 6 potato chips, 1 peanut butter cookie, 5 bites of pineapple and drank 3 juice bottles. He ate some other things also but James left the list at her house and he couldn't remember everything so I will edit more later. Now for dinner tonight he ate 4 mushrooms and 2 tablespoons of pork chops and 1 bite of broccoli. He is doing so awesome. I was able to talk with Heather a little about how her son started eating at the beginning and she said it was the same way so that made me feel better. I did get some carnation breakfast powder that we are going to try putting in his milk tomorrow so we will see how that goes I was going to start it today but the kids helped put groceries away and I couldn't find it. However James ended up finding it in the freezer tonight. (silly kids) Thanks Boeckman mommy for the tip. At this point I am willing to try anything. I love the suggestions because you just never know what might work.
Nikki is doing really great her last dance competition went really well and we will be going to nationals in a couple of weeks to that will be exciting. She had her first ponytail softball practice tonight and absolutely loved it. I was so glad. CJ start pre-tball next week so that ought to be fun. It looks like we will be spending Mon-Thurs at the ball fields though since Nikki and CJ's games are of course not on the same day. James just got back home on Sunday from a hog hunt down in Oklahoma and seemed to have a good time. The hog he shot with his bow and arrow was 246 pounds so he was happy. Me not so much since it is sitting in my foyer in a cooler because he hasn't had time to butcher it yet. (it will be tomorrow). We finally got the siding put on the house and they finished it up last week it looks amazing. James went up tonight and picked up the stone so they will be putting it up tomorrow. I can't wait to see what it looks like. All in all life is good.

Yes, keep it up CJ. You are getting there. I thought it may just take a little time for him to adjust. I hope it all continues on the same road. Up the hill, and soon it will be all downhill. Andy, I am so proud of you for sticking to it, esp. while James was gone. I had faith in you all along. I know it can be really hard. Believe me I know. I gave up breastfeeding with X 4 or 5 times and each time, I would regret it, and try it again, a few days later. And finally we got it and I loved it. I didn't stick with it with the other kids either, but being at home now, I really wanted to with X. It is just that support you need to be reminded, that it is ok, and that it will be fine. It just takes patience and when it comes to your kids health and well being, sometimes it is so hard. Way to Go Rice family!! Keep up the good work.
