Thank you all who have aided me in feeding Moe. You truly have all been an inspiration to not give up on him and to keep trying. Most importantly I will just continue to love on him.
I tried feeding him again tonight but he absolutely refuses anything getting between his top and bottom lips. He tight lipped turns his head and pushes you away with his hand. Then he looks at you so sweetly and smiles. WHAT IS THAT! Hmmmm I could read into this as defiance but I will give it many more tries before I write it off as bad behavior. I really would like to get some information from those people to see what he is used to. It would make life a heck of a lot easier. When I leave the room with him on the floor playing (we have a very open floor plan so I can still see him over the sofa in the LR from the kitchen) he starts whining. Bear will go and give him a toy or squat down to be on his level and talk to him in his face. TOO precious! I love that little man.
I am confused to whether we need to be breaking a bad "attached at the hip" issue and encourage "alone time" or if he was always left alone and he is needing me to be in there with him a lot more. I am so used to being able to do the things I need to get done all within the day and now I am not sure how to deal with this child who NEEDS me. I mean we are doing play time and spending time together and it goes great (thanks for all those encouragements as well) but when it is time for alone time... Moe cries and doesn't want to be alone. I feel very tied down to sitting in front of him and just watching him smile. Not a bad thing except I have another baby wandering the house that needs me too.
I promise I am not always this hopeless... I can tie my own shoelaces! And yes I know my name (most days)!
It is getting better I believe. I have just got to dedicate my life to making this transition as smooth and comfortable as possible and for me that means slowing down! UUUGggghhhhhh! Okay I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! I NEED STRENGTH TO DO THOSE THINGS GOD!
Have a peaceful and blessed evening!

NO! Matalie is my best friends little girl. She's due right after Josie turns 2!
And my Grandpa, he's a spring chicken! I have no idea how old he really turned and I thought it would hurt his feelings if I wrote "really old!"
You should try a Mei Tai Carrier or a baby sling so that you can still get your stuff done and play with Bear.
I'm sure Moe needs you and is just so glad to be back home with you.
So much tragedy and change for such little lives. I hate that for all these kids.
You're a great woman of God for giving so much of yourself.
Hang in there, girl!!! He'll make the transition in no time and you'll be able to get things done! I love you!
