As parents we are amazed on a daily basis by our children. Liam's vocabulary and abilities that seem beyond his years and Sophia with her courageousness, and strength through this whole endeavour. Today she made more steps that really amazed us. She has tolerated another food consolidation. She now gets three hours of feeds over 90 minutes and then her feeds are off for 90. This has caused her for the first time to experience hunger pains. Although I would never wish pain on Sophia, this kind seems good. Her hunger pains have enticed her to start sucking on her pacifier, and not only briefly tonight she sucked on it for over 40 minutes in one hour. This is HUGE! Patrick and I believe that she might have even tried to take a bottle but we are unsure about that because that is something an occupational therapist would have to work with her on. But the fact that she was truly sucking on the pacifier for that long shows tremendous interest. Yesterday she had no interest, today she really wants it. Truly amazing! As Maggie Simpson would say. Suck suck suck
