What's Auggie eating these days?

Just about everything...

...except for veggies.

What is it with kids and veggies? But actually, can we just pause a minute and thank God together that Auggie is eating food?! He's had so much trouble with eating for his entire life. We've cleaned up more puke with this guy than with any other kid, because the poor fella had to be taught to move food around in his mouth, chew, and swallow properly. He just couldn't do it (or eat from his bottle properly before that), so the food just came back up (sorry for the not-so-fun word picture).

After so, so, so much hard work, this precious toddler can finally chew and swallow like a boss. I don't think I'll ever stop appreciating how fabulous his little jaw is when he's chewing. God is faithful to bring him to this point.

At his specialist appointment last week, she asked me what he was eating now. I said, "Everything!" But then I realized that this wasn't entirely accurate because like most of his siblings and millions of toddlers and children everywhere - veggies aren't his favorite.

Therefore, I work hard to add veggies to everything you can possibly think of - not to be sneaky but to make it easier for everyone to eat more nutrients without choking on a green bean.
