Cereal. We put Athan in his high chair and fed him his first round of baby cereal. It was a big hit! He seemed really excited about it. He also didn't seem to have any trouble with the swallowing, which was a concern because of his low muscle tone and bifed epiglottis. No tongue thrusting and no grimace - just a little cereal on the cheeks and the usual Athan smile.
He is doing really well. Night time is a little rough right now. He isn't sleeping as well - I think the dry air of the desert in the winter, plus the extra drying factor of the oxygen, just bug him. He'll go to sleep alright, but wakes up often, usually rubbing his nose and eyes. He's having a tough time getting back to sleep, which I'm not used to, so we're both pretty sleepy. I'm ready to get back to see cardiology so we can hopefully stop this oxygen and get some sleep!
Morgan is being a very helpful big sister, and seems to enjoy talking to her "bubba" more and more. "Look, he's smiling at me!" she'll say with typical Morgan glee. She is also having so much fun with all the grandmas and great-grandmas and aunts and uncles and friends who want to play with her. Last night she got to go to the basketball game to watch Uncle Layne, and I hear she enjoyed making Uncle Brent and Aunt Jenn chase her around!
Ryan is in India, still. He took a class through the seminary that includes a trip to a ministry in India that has a seminary and an orphanage on site. I hope he'll write a blog when he gets back to explain the trip more. I've talked to him three times, and it seems to be going well. The team has been passing around a tummy bug, that has knocked them out one at a time for about 24 or 48 hours. Ryan had it last we talked, but I think he's feeling better. They teach classes at the seminary in the morning, and help with the kids in the afternoon, I think.
