Update 1/29: Fresh apple juice!
Coco drank freshly squeezed apple juice! Not much, about 1-2oz. I had to put it into a juice box. Will give it in the cup after she gets used to the taste. So happy! Will make fresh apple juice everyday!

Update 1/28/13: GFCF
Coco has gone GFCF! We even replaced the soy milk with almond milk. She is slowly tolerating it (we started yesterday). Almond Breeze she didn't like at all. I had to get Silk. It is darker I am not sure why. I am not sure if almond is any better than soy too. No doubt since we replaced milk with Soy milk, we saw improvements, but not sure if the improvements are from the replacement or just by aging. I'd figure I'd give that a try since most people recommended almond or rice. I had rice milk as well, but from the labels almond seem more nutritious. We really need to increase her food repertoire quick. Would be nice if she can eat some fresh fruits. The whole world would open up if she can eat some fruits. Tomorrow I will make some fresh juice and see if she can tolerate it. She was able to drink a few sips of pure water since a couple of weeks back (discovered by accident after brushing her teeth - meant for her to rinse, but she drank it). Previously all water was mixed in with apple juice 50/50. Great that she can at least drink a few sips.
Sue has been working with her on chicken nuggets. The other day we even threw in a few slices of apple, after having her touch the whole apple a few times. She refused to touched it but did after Sue wanted her to transfer them into another bowl. The movement seems like 'yuck' to her.
Today Coco ate a new potato chip (Lays). Held two for quite a number of hours on each hand mind you. Finally ate one when we didn't give her anything to eat after she refused the rice dinner. She also ate apple sauce and drank the almond milk.
To try:
1. Fresh juice
2. GF cereal with almond/rice milk

Update: 1/24/2013
Time rushes by and it's already toward the end of January 2013!
A quick update:
We are trying to go Gluten free and casein free! She's been drinking the silk Soy for quite a number of months now. I've read on some sites they should go Soy free as well? I am not sure because she didn't tested allergic to soy and it is nutritious. We did get almond milk. Will let her try when she finishes the soy milk.
On 1/19, Coco ate gluten free animal crackers. In two days she finished the 8oz bag. She can open close the Hefty bags. We now use the crackers as a reinforcer.
On 1/20, Coco ate veggie chips! She held it, put to mouth for a while, smelled it for a while and took a bite! She ate all of the chips in her bowl after!
On 1/21, introduced gluten-free soy sauce. She's fine with it.
On 1/22, introduced gluten-free cereal (a cheerio look-a-like without the gloss) mixed in with the normal
Cheerios. Spits the gluten free out. Will try again...and again.
On 1/23, Coco ate a gluten free chocolate chip cookie! Held it for a number of hours and finally took a bite!
Now what can we do for breakfast? She used to eat cereal with milk but ever since she went to school, the cereal became a finger food... I tried again and it worked at home, but in a couple of days, finger food again. :(
More on the list: chicken nuggets, maybe some apples, pears, (would be great if she can eat ANY fruits). I think she likes crunchy. But she does eat rice and meat (w/ steamed egg).
Sue's been introducing chicken nuggets to Coco. She was able to get her to touch it and kiss it. We pack one to school today, see if they have any successes. Sue tries very hard, not sure if anyone else is up to the challenge.
Academics:
Still writing on the iPad.
Have movements for writing her full name, movements for writing 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9.
*Seemed to forgot her colors.
Learning to count 1-6.
Starfalls stories everyday.
Write name everyday.
Write 1-10 almost everyday.
Need to:
- Follow up on OT visit. Spoke to Maddy (OT) at school a couple of weeks back but haven't heard of a schedule so Sue and I can go in to see what she's working on.
- Visit schools.
