You just dont find many pictures of me on this site....I really do hate my picture taken. HOWEVER, I was reminded that even though I dont like them, my children need to have pictures of their mother too. SOOO, Tucker and I took a few tonight after his bath.
He is getting so big....heavy big too!!! I swear he has gained 5 pounds this week alone. Eats nonstop!! I am not exaggerating either. He doesnt seem to get full. Does anyone know if Downs kids have a problem knowing when they are full? I think I am going to have to start telling him no when he wants to snack all day. I had always prayed that he would be able to eat, by mouth, and not have issues. We got rid of the mickey button and I got what I prayed for....EATING by mouth. NOW, I have to fix, or look at, limiting atleast the calories he is taking in.
We are so blessed ......Tucker has come so far! He is, as I have always said, my Hero!!

~Alex's moma!
Yea! for eating by mouth. :D
Tucker is doing so well, I'm thrilled for you guys.
YES..they often do have a hard time knowing when they are full. The 2 women with Ds that I work with who are in their upper 40's will still literally eat until they are gonna "puke" and still say they are hungry!!!!
BUT that is a MINOR battle compared to having a Mic-key button. We cant wait for the day that the light clicks for Cole and he wants to eat something by mouth. We are prob the only parents of a 2yr old who are doin a little dancin right now because he is ASKING to drink from our Coke bottles!!!! LOL
Loved seeing you guys briefly yesterday at NEEC!!
