Sushi, Rainbows, and Sweet Potatos

We had a nice weekend full of friends and fun.  Most importantly it FINALLY cooled off outside.  We also got some much needed rain.  We do however wish we hadn't gotten 6-7inches in one day.  I guess beggars can't be choosers.  The rain finally stopped this evening and Ruby got to see her first Rainbow!

Ruby discovered how much fun hanging plants can be.

Look at that head control!  Ruby's starting to show the torticollis who's boss.

We also decided to give sweet potatoes a try.  She seemed to like the taste!

She wasn't so sure what to do with them once they were in her mouth.  She didn't swallow much.  We are however very happy that she seemed to like to taste and texture of them.  We'll give them another try tomorrow.    She is still averageing less than 3 oz  of milk a day by mouth.  We're all trying and hopefully one day we'll get rid of the ng tube.  Her reflux seems to be getting worse again.  We had a good week with almost no puking.  We've had a few episodes this weekend.  I think last week we found the sweet spot for the meds to weight ratio.  I'm assuming she's gained just enough weight to throw things off again.  I'll give it couple more days and then call her Dr. about weight adjusting her prilosec.

Really though what's cuter than a baby with sweet potatoes smeared all over their face?
