You had your very first taste of “real” food today! Yup, today’s the day you had your very first solids meal. Wasn’t that very different from Mama’s milk?
Papa and Mama had no idea how to begin feeding you solids. There was a whole lot of contradicting literature on when we ought to start you on solids and different people gave us conflicting advice too! In the end, we took the “safe” path and started you at a time we think is neither “too early” nor “too late” – some time after your 5th month. =D
We had also heard a lot of stories about how babies reject solid food, so we had no idea how you would react. We were SO relieved when you gamely ate the whole portion of carrot Mama painstakingly boiled and pureed for you! (This, of course, was all carried out according to the detailed step-by-step instructions generously provided by Auntie Rachel. – “Thank you, Auntie Rachel!”) You’re such a good little girl!
You do know what this means, right? You’re well on your way to enjoying all of Papa and Mama’s favourite foods with us soon! Let’s see… there’s yummy dark chocolate, yummy strawberry ice-cream, yummy Bengawan Solo pandan kaya cake, yummy durians (Mama’s favourite), yummy white chocolate, yummy chilli crab (Papa’s favourite), yummy black pepper crab, yummy macadamia nut ice-cream, yummy butter prawns, yummy chendol, yummy milk chocolate, yummy lobster bisque, yummy green bean soup, yummy rocky road ice-cream, yummy bread and butter pudding, yummy Yakun toast, yummy salmon sashimi, … Oh, and let’s not forget - yummy CHOCOLATES and yummy ICE-CREAM!!!

Papa & Mama
