I just realized I forgot to update. DS is doing so so SO much better! He has more than doubled but not quite tripled his daily food intake in the last few weeks. We have been doing feeding therapy once a week and the therapist is awesome. She has really helped me to inspire Ds to eat more.
Lets put it this way... today he ate: 2 celery sticks, 1 container of yogurt, half an orange, a handful of veggies straws, a couple of sweet potato fries, at least 4-5 ounces of curry, 6 ounces of oatmeal with cinnamon and apples, 2 sticks of asparagus, 2 pieces of string cheese, 6 ravioli with alfredo sauce, 1/3 of a sweet potato, a handful of hippie organic crackers similar to goldfish crackers, and a small piece of chicken. Plus breast milk. I'm one happy mama!
He also weighs a whopping 19 lbs 6 oz. This is the heaviest he has ever been! Considering he was almost 18 1/2 lbs just after 4 months this is quite the accomplishment. In addition to eating more he is so much happier than he used to be. Everyone has commented on it - family, friends, even the guy I always see at the local baby store said he seems happier than he used to be!
I kind of feel like jumping on the coffee table and doing a little dance.
Re: Oh, I forgot to update :) GREAT news!
That is great. I'm happy you were able to get the help you needed for him. That weight sounds great for his age. I'm sure you feel like a weight has been lighted off of you.

Not only is that definitely more food than my three year old has eaten in the past 3 days, I'm pretty sure its more food than I ate today! haha - I love it!
I am so glad everything is going better and you are seeing such good improvements. Yay!

Glad he's doing good!
He ate more today then Z ever eats in one day...and he weighs more. Thank goodness Z has a GI appointment next week.
WOW!! That's fantastic. I think it's so important to post about things like this. you never know who is reading and who could be helped by you posting. He probably feels like a completely new kid! Amazing. So glad he's doing so well (and has also kicked all of those viruses and such).
Yay yay yay!!
