Purple Pumpkin! I am ready to go!
I took Gwenny to the elementary school to visit Gramsy at work on Halloween morning.
Gwenny most enjoyed taking candy out of her pumpkin and throwing it on the ground!
All worn out after too much fun trunk-or-treating.
I've been falling behind on blogging because I'm measuring food ALL THE TIME. I'm getting the hang of it now, though, and just repeating the quicker recipes for Gwenny's keto diet. I think there are a few factors contributing to the fact that it takes me so long to get her food ready.
First, and obvious, is that I have to measure EVERYTHING that goes into her mouth. (OK, not fluids...so, almost everything.)
Then, it has to be something she likes. (I make something, I like it...she doesn't. Back to square one.)
Third, she's two years old but has the chewing skills of a one year old, so I'm trying to be careful with foods that she can easily chew. (Such as cooked carrots, rather than raw.)
Also, she's starting to get really independent and wants to feed herself all the time. That means, nothing that has to be eaten with a spoon.
She's doing really well and we have been able to lower her keppra once since being out of the hospital. (Yay!) No seizures, ketones are staying high and she is eating and drinking well. I got her a new sippy cup with no handles, and she's drinking out of it like a pro! She also LOVES drinking out of a big girl cup, which she holds and drinks out of all by herself (although most of the fluid goes down her front.) She still loves to hold a fork or spoon and has started a sort of "stab" at her food with the fork.
Gwenny is vocalizing all the time now, mostly random vowels, 'mama' and 'baba,' although I occasionally will hear a "d" or "g." She has figured out how to work a light switch and just thinks it's the coolest thing ever. We play with the lights on the way down the stairs to breakfast every morning.
