Yum Yum

Baby Charmaine had her first taste of solids today. The initial plan was to wait till next week, when she's six months old. But she simply cannot wait. She hasn't been interested in her milk feeds, struggling through every one of them though we can tell that she's hungry. She has also been showing interest in our food, staring at us each time we eat and opening her mouth whenever we tried to offer our food to her.

Since 1 week isnt going to make much of a difference, DaddyHam and i fed her a tiny portion of rice cereal today. Tiny portion because we just wanted her to try. Before we realised, it was all gone... and so we had to make another portion to appease her.



This was her first food. Organic rice cereal. It was bland but she loved it! She kept reaching out to grab at the bowl and spoon and would stick her neck out to get nearer to the food.

And since carrots contain so much nutrients i decided that the first puree i'll prepare for her were to be carrots. It was easier than i expected. Bought some beautiful organic carrots, wash, peel then boil them. Cut into smaller chunks then puree it. IThe quantity was just sufficient to fill 8 cubes. Will let Hamie try them this week. She already tried a little as i was preparing them and she seemed to like it too. What a relief coz i simply hate carrots. Hoping that i wont have to go through what my parents did in order to get me to eat carrots when i was young.
