Tube Free Day - some good and some bad news

The tube free day was cancelled because Auggie came down with a cold.  However, yesterday he pulled his tube out and we let him go tube free for 5 hours.  He started nursing and continues to do so today - Yay!  He also seemed so much happier with the tube out and he was vocalizing more.  He still refused to take a bottle but he did take the nipple in his mouth and played around with it.  We had no success with solids.  He still does not open his mouth but if food hits his lips he will smack his lips and get it into his mouth - I don't know if he actually swallows it or not because often times he will either gag and vomit after solids or he will just spit it out.
