25 pounder!

Jonah has an eating disorder. It was probably caused because, due to failure to thrive, he was put on a feeding tube over 1 year ago and, for awhile, wasn't allowed to eat by mouth. We spent a week, in February, in Childrens Hospital, in a feeding clinic with a psychologist, trying to train Jonah to eat. Since then, there have been ups and downs and some funny moments too. The funny moments are what I want to record for Jonah.

Checking the zeros~ this is what Jonah says when we ask him to get on the digital scale so we can, weekly, check his weight. It's because the 0 flashes repeatedly before the weight appears.

good chewing, great bite!~ this is what Randy and I say, ad nauseaum, to Jonah, as per the psychologist, while he is eating. Eating is like a job to Jonah, not fun at all! This I can't imagine! The doctor could make a mint by selling recordings of these feeding phrases to desperate parents like us.

25 pounder~ SO cute! This is what Jonah shouts any time he gets weighed. It doesn't matter to him what the real number is. All he knows is that, one time, he DID weigh 25 lbs. and we all cheered. So now it is always....25 pounder, hurray for Jonah! (unfortunately, he has been 25 pounds for 2 months or so). But God can do miracles and I believe He has big plans for my Jonah!
