Help!





I was in the kitchen last week when I heard Jay squaking in the living room. It wasn't a cry or anything like that. This was a different sound. Turns out our little man had pulled himself to a standing position and didn't know what to do. He was stuck and was calling out for one of us to come help him. :)

And so goes the progress in the Schmetzer house. Jay is doing fantastic. This week we said goodbye to the formula and hello to regular milk. Jay's first real milk was Horizon Organic milk. And he seems to be liking it just fine. He also get's Yo Baby Organic Yogurt and he absolutely loves this stuff.

He's still having a few issues with swallowing anything chunky as far as solids go so I puree his food still. From what I understand this is a common preemie problem and something we will work on. Right now all that matters to me is he is getting what he needs to grow and be strong and healthy.

Girlfriend, get ready for the weight gain. Syd has peaked before she started on milk on yogurt but gained steadily once we started. Our gag reflex babies can't handle too much solid food at once so the full fat dairy is a biiig help.

I'm sooo proud of him!
