June :)

June has been a great month for Tripp! After having his gtube in for 1 year and 1 day, he was able to get it taken out and he has not looked back at all. To celebrate, we went and bought him a few tshirt outfits (he needed a onesie before so he was not able to get to the tube to play with) and had cupcakes after dinner to celebrate.  Here is a picture of him eating his celebration cupcake!

It is just so wonderful to have been celebrating this day so soon.  Especially since at our last GI visit the doctor mentioned he was anticipating taking it out at around 2 years old.  I guess this was all Tripp needed to hear to motivate him!

Tripp has just been having fun being a normal baby so far.  He is talking more and more, adding dada and uh oh to his vocabulary.  Now he is saying these along with mama, hi, and bye.  He is also very close to saying more and milk.

We just cut down our speech therapy to 2x a month and pt to 1x every 2 months.  He also has less doctor appointments now, which is also really nice.  We have been enjoying our new time by spending more time playing outside, and at the pool.  He loves to play, unless he is touching the grass which he hates.  And he loves the pool.

At a year old, I know most parents have thought back and think of how fast the year has went by.  But, for us it has been one long and hard year.  We are all very thankful that it is over and our little boy is continue to thrive in every way.
