Notes: Okay, so I'm a little behind in adding this to the book. AJ has actually been eating solids for the past 3 or 4 weeks. He loves them! So far he has been eating cereal and we added a different veggie every few days. Today, he'll finally get a taste of the sweet stuff...FRUIT! This kid has loved every veggie I've given him, so I imagine he'll be crazy about fruit. The only complaint he seems to have is that he never thinks we give him enough food. I've been trying to limit his intake to some degree...not to be cruel, but because of his reflux disorder, the food we give never seems to stay down so we have squash and green beans oozing back up 45 minutes later. We have now been instructed to go ahead and feed him more, but we have to put him on a medicine that will help his stomach digest food better. We were trying to avoid more medicine for our little guy, but the doctor is pretty concerned that solid foods won't stay down either. So, we'll give the medicine a try for a month or so, and see how things are going then. We're told that if he is a year old and still not able to keep solids down without medicine, we may have to consider surgery. Let's pray that won't be necessary!
