Today Edison had his annual checkup with the pediatrician. Luckily he was quite the peach this time. Of course he cried when he got his shots (3!!) but the rest of the time he did really well. The news is he has THREE teeth that have broken through his gums. You can just see the teeny tiny tip of them but they're coming! One is on the bottom and the two on top are the ones that will be on either side of his two front teeth. Oohhhhhhh I just can't wait to see them!!

Other than that no news. Our pediatrician is going to help act as an intermediary between us, our surgeon, and the swallowing center to see if we can't all get on the same page. Our concern is that we have been doing a "pedialyte" break for his tummy (as the swallow center recommended) and it has drastically decreased his retching, but unfortunately it's starting to decrease his weight as well! We are very concerned about that. Last week he weighed 17 pounds 3 ounces and today he was 16 pounds 12 ounces. So we're glad he's going to help us out.

Hope you all have a great weekend! OH! One thing I forgot to mention. Martin got up before Edison this morning and said that when he walked by his crib Edison was audibly laughing in his sleep :-)
