February 10 on 10: Lisa

I was looking back at last February's post and realized what a difference a year makes! It also made me grateful to have these snippets of life to be able to look back and see those differences. Thanks Steph for continuing on with me.

8:00 - Ready for school and sporting the new Zips t-shirt from her dad. 


9:00 - Making "baby muffins" consisting of oat flour, bananas, squash puree, and cinnamon. Its a bit strange as all three boys are still asleep. For too quiet.

As a side note, these are two of my favorite kitchen things: vitamix and All Clad measuring cups/spoons.

10:00 - Back on the potty train

11:00 - This kid slept until 10:45. Maybe he's growing?? Baby muffins are a big hit. Zachy ate 3, Colin ate 4 and even Clancy ate 2. Too bad I didn't make a larger batch.

12:00 - The sun came out and even Harley is trying to soak up some Vitamin D and have a few sips of juice. Zachary isn't too sure he likes this strange light coming through the windows.



1:00 - When all else fails, the couch always seems to become the preferred playground.





2:00 - Everyday I take a photo of what Clancy has eaten PO (by mouth) or through his G-tube. This is obviously yesterday's, but now I have a photo and can erase and fill in for today. This helps me to keep track of his eating patterns as well as his calorie consumption. 

3:00 - While the other boys  napped, Clancy had some more to eat. This is our current set up for downstairs. He likes to watch Curious George to help pass the time it takes for his formula to finish. This week is also Feeding Tube Awareness week. The Feeding Tube Awareness Foundation has a fantastic piece with some feeding tube basics.

I'd encourage you to look through it and see if you have any questions.


4:00 - Evidence that the Feeding Tube has been a great decision for us to help Clancy with his nutritional needs. The kid is as "normal" as they get, just about ready to walk and getting into everything with the help of his brothers. 

Later in the day we had Basketball practice, grocery shopping and all sorts of other adventures which I forgot to take pictures of, but so it is. Hope you have a great day!
