Busy Brown Summer!

This summer is flying by!! It is already late July, it is hard to believe. I know it has been more than a month since my last post, sorry! We are all so busy this summer, time got away from me!
Camden it doing quite well, no hospital or clinic visits this summer, other than well baby check ups with his pediatrician. His weight isn't growing fast, but he is not losing weight either. On these hot and muggy days, we have a tough time getting him to eat his formula. We give him boluses of formula (which seem to go right through him), or large volume at night. He has tasted a variety of foods so far. He has not made icky faces at applesauce, pears, peaches, peas, guacamole (go figure!!), potato, and he even got a hold of a spinach and cheese bread stick the other night and chewed on it and ate some of the filling! He really enjoys drinking water, much more so than his formula!
We have enjoyed spending time with family this summer also. Nana and Grampy have helped with child care conflicts in our schedule, and are getting more comfortable with tube feedings. Grammy is also learning how to care for the MikKey button, give medicines, and tube feedings. Living two hours away, she doesn't feel all that comfortable yet, but she will with more practice.

Glad to hear the little guy is doing well...and guac was one of Julia's favorites when she was little!! When she learned how to dip chips in she would dip, lick off the guac, dip again, lick off the guac, etc. Talk about double dipping!! :-) We love you all and miss you...wish we could see you sooner, so you are all of course welcome to visit us in sunny CA when the weather gets chilly this winter!! :-)

Love & Huggs,
Auntie Jana, Uncle Phil, Julia and ???

Nanna and Grampy RULE!!!! remember you still have an open invitation to sent those kids out here anytime you want. Funny, I was just saying that summer has passed sooooo fast. Clem starts school in a few days and I am not happy, I will have no one to play with.


much love
Chris, Theresa and Clemente.
