Myla Learns to Eat: Weaning Day 6

I don't have the mental energy or brain power to do a thorough update tonight, but after a lot of though, we pulled Myla's tube this morning. The video was cut short because it was a very emotional morning for us (me). Her intake did not improve today but she continues to explore. I know that I am a psychologist and I have studied human behavior for a while now; however, it has been fascinating to watch the inner struggle of Myla learning to eat. She is both stubborn and open-minded at the exact same time. She only took one nap today and did a lot of her drinking in the bathtub. She also enjoyed some tomato bisque for dinner. No this was not some Gerber concoction. It was Progresso Tomato bisque. She may be on her way to being a vegetarian like her father because she really enjoyed her morningstar crumbles and chose them over her Gerber Turkey and Rice. She enjoys cantaloupe very much. That's all for tonight. Thank you again to Dr. Markus Wilken who not only normalizes Myla's experience but in such a light-hearted and caring way normalizes mommy and daddy's anxiety.
