Weekly Update -- 14 - 20 July 2008

Yay, I'm 80 weeks old today!

Masinja had his rapid MRI on Monday. It was pretty neat because the whole process from start to finish only lasted about 5 minutes. Masinja was mesmerized by the sound of the machine. About the only thing he didn't like was having to be strapped down. He hates being pinned down. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that he associates it with getting stuck with needles!

Masinja also had his 18-month well baby appointment this week. He now weighs 24 pounds 2 ounces and is 30 inches long. The doc put in a referral for him to see an occupational therapist because we are having trouble transitioning him to a sippy cut and table food. He doesn't like to eat things that aren't pureed. If you put a small piece of food in his mouth that he actually has to chew he gets mad! He also doesn't like drinking from a sippy cup. I think part of the problem is that the liquids come out faster with the sippy cup. Hopefully the occupational therapist will be able to give us some pointers on how to transition him.

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.M.
