Front teeth and first steps

Big sister finally lost her two top teeth! I love the toothless grin!
Ellie started walking a few days ago. It really tires her out so she doesn't want walk very much. I don't know if this is normal or not. She prefers to be carried everywhere she goes. She sure is cute though! She likes to "help" me vacuum the kitchen floor. She no longer needs her feeding pump during the day. I have been mixing her formula with baby food and using a large syringe to put her food into her g-tube. It takes about 10 minutes for her. I'm so glad she can finally handle a larger amount of food at once! Ellie is still fed continuously via her pump for most of the night. She's hit a bit of a wall with feeding the past couple of days. She's getting her molars, so I hope that's the cause. She will swallow small amounts of food, but a baby just can't live on a few Cheerios, 2 tiny bites of cheese, and a lick or two of a pear. Compared to where she was, though, this is great progress!
