And Then Some Days She Eats

This girl has me so confused with what the real underlying issue is with her not wanting to eat, because every so often, she will eat good!  Tonight was one of those nights!  She ate about a table spoon and a half of refried beans, half a large strawberry, and a chunk of pizza bread - this was all within about 45 minutes!  It makes me so happy to see her eat this way, but it also makes me nervous, because she has a tendency to vomit on those few days where she has eaten good!  Praying all those calories stay down! :)

I really wonder why she has days when she wants to eat (maybe once every month or two!), and then all the others not.  It also makes me think that she does not have oral sensory aversions, since she just ate so many different textures and not once did she gag or spit it out! So so confused! :/

On a good note, after I wrote the above two paragraphs I went to put her to sleep and she did not throw up! Whoo hoo, praying it stays that way!

My mom has been a great support in researching alongside us and wanting so badly to see Abby eat and eat well consistently. She has new feeding gadgets and books sent to us pretty much weekly, as well as doing her own homework and reading up, mainly on sensory related feeding disorders.  Her newest thought was to buy Abby a baby doll that you can pretend feed with a bottle, sippy cup and also has a bib and pacifier!  Abby was playing with the doll most of the night and it was funny to see that Abby was walking around with the babies bottle acting like she was drinking it!?!?!? Yea, even more confused now! Haha! But it was cute to see her give the baby the pacifier and bottle, etc... maybe she will want to be just like baby! I'd "nurse" that baby too if it encouraged Abby to nurse more! hahahah... okay I won't imagine that!

Don't mind the silly headband, daddy likes to put
mommy's headbands on Abby! :)

Okay, that's all for today!  Let's see if this improved eating stays in effect tomorrow as well! Fingers and toes crossed... okay that's not going to do anything.. but we are praying! Our God is Greater, our God is healer, awesome in power our God!!!
