What the heck is daddy doing in here?
Photobucket
He is going to learn just like mom has been learning?
Photobucket
Well, at least he can blow better bubbles than mom!
Photobucket
But you all MUST remember...
Photobucket
I am the BEST bubble blower ever!
Photobucket
Are you really going to make me allow you to hold the toothbrush to my lips for a full three seconds?
Photobucket
Are we done yet?
Photobucket
Look, I am on to you, stop trying to use that to brush my teeth!
Photobucket
BREAK (after a short rest)
Photobucket
You are the best Daddy monster ever!
Photobucket
If only I could reach...
Photobucket
Thank you daddy!

I am working on my chew, chew, chewing.
Photobucket
I eat almost every bite thrown at me, I tried several new pureed foods today!

No thank you!
Photobucket
2:45pm-3:30pm - Meal 3

Daddy gave me my drinks like a rock star today!
Photobucket
3:45pm - head home
ISABELLA, Do you know my girlfriend is coming over to visit?
Photobucket
No, why would anyone want to visit you, Bro-Ther?
Photobucket
I want to visit him because he is so handsome, Bells!
 Photobucket
Well Lily and Gabriel, at least Tyce came over to visit me.
Photobucket
(He is a cutie!)
Photobucket
Hey you two, what are you doing over there?
Photobucket
Nothing sis, mind your own business!
Photobucket
Can you believe Isabella is always in my business, Tyce?
Photobucket
Look man, I am staying out of your business with your sister!
Photobucket
That girl is CRAZY!
Photobucket
HEHEHE
Photobucket
Gabriel, you should be nicer to your Sister!
Photobucket
What if I am not, Lily?
Photobucket
I will pull some Jujitsu moves out on you Gabriel!
Photobucket
Dang I can't win!
Photobucket
Boy, I love Lily more and more every day Gabriel!

Mom's note -  So I learned that I would be doing at home bottle feeds starting tonight and video taping them so that we can review them tomorrow to make sure that everything is in place for the weekend.  I have to admit I was super nervous because Gabriel has not changed his behavior at home though this process.  We were told not to implement any of the things they are doing at therapy until we were told to do so (and trained exactly how to) I was hoping it would go better once we were able to implement things that are being done at therapy.  Needless to say things were more hectic than they typically are because Gabriel and Isabella had friends over.  Gabriel managed to stay focused and ROCK OUT during his feedings.  I am SO proud of him!!!! I did not have any issues with his feedings! (drinks)

NO MORE BOTTLE AT THE PURDY HOUSE!!!!
