Independence

We celebrated our 4th of July festivities on the 3rd (I'm sure our founding fathers were excited on the 3rd too). We were invited to a bbq by some friends,and then walk to see the Maumee fireworks. It was a perfect setting to be at Fort Meigs (from the War of 1812), sitting on a grassy knoll, overlooking the Maumee River. Darkness settled in and the fireworks began. We wondered what Avery would do when it all started, and after looking startled, she just sat and watched the whole thing quietly. Zach's first time watching, he cried, but this time he barely paid any attention to it, like it was no big deal. Despite our attempts to inform him that all this spectacular happens once a year (except baseball games and New Year), he watched for a few minutes, then just ran around. Eric and I loved it and the setting was perfect. I LOVE fireworks, they're so spectacular! I'm sure glad we won the war.

On a different note, Avery has been spitting up, a lot. All babies spit up, I know, but her feeding tube comes out too. Each time I think it chips away at my sanity. Only because I wonder how much a kid can take of that (mostly putting the tube back in). Tonight though, we tried a special formula for fussy babies and so far, no spitting up. We're crossing our fingers that this works. If you have any tips, please let us know.

I think you are doing the right things. we tried different formulas, avoid too much movement after feeding, and made sure Maisy was sitting up when we fed her.

Amelia is a spitter upper too! I use Similac Neosure and for awhile had to use the non-dairy based Similac formula...and she is doing much better now.
