pickles are yummy yummy yummy

I sure love pickles, and Mommy sure loves these photos! (She said the first two especially melt her heart.)

My new "thing" is playing/sucking/holding vegetables...and pickles are my favorite. Mom even got a new flavor (extra intense) today, and I loved that one too.

My feeding team thinks this is great therapy for me since many children with feeding issues need strong flavors to "wake up" their mouth. Because some of my cranial nerves are not functioning (facial palsy, swallowing, etc.), it is possible I have little to no taste or smell. Who knows? We are hoping that isn't the case since I do show a preference for some baby foods over others...and I definitely enjoy lollipops. Today Mom got me sour worms...and those sure were fun too. For now we will just keep experimenting with more and more flavors. (I don't actually "eat" any of these items yet...but they are sure fun to play with! I'm still being stubborn with oral feedings.)


Pretty darn cute, right? I know...but wait until you see me with my pickle! :)
















Seriously, could I be any sweeter?

















More pickles Mommy...more, more.















Look Ma, no hands!
















Oh wait, I need my hands to hold onto my car!

Love it, love it, love it! You should send this picture to the pickle company. Tell them you have a new face for their company. I hope you framed these! I love the fact that the pickle matches him outfit. Did you plan that because it will make the perfect scrapbooking page?

Sweet Maxwell,

If your picture were on a pickle jar, it would be a hit! Thank Mommy for sharing her beautiful little man with us.

Love you,
"Auntie" Mary
