Semi-Solid


yummy


Jesse is 5-months old now. We've just started him on semi-solids. We're feeding him a nice little rice cereal once a day and whaddya know, he's lovin' it!

Most people say that babies can start on semi-solids when they hit the 4-month mark. But these days nutritionists are saying that babies can afford to wait a little longer. Apparently, starting him on other foods can sometimes lead to allergies. Ugh! And this can lead to all kinds of complications. So despite having a strong urge to sneak him a sip of beer or coke behind Mommy's back, I'm gonna have to refrain. :)

Anyway, he's loving his cereal. Which is good. But he's loving it a little bit too much, which can get quite messy. Mae was feeding him when he suddenly grabbed the spoon to help himself. "You people are too slow!" he seemed to be saying as he licked furiously away at the spoon. So, as you can imagine, he's got cereal all over his face, hands, clothes and feet. Yes, feet!!! Hehheh!

That's my boy. Messy eater, just like Daddy.

    You should think about making him a baby-model.. with that adorable face and eating his cereal with gusto, Nestum etc would fight to have him be their little spokesman. Heheh..

  16. HURRAY!!!!! Solid food!!!!!!!!!! Give him the experience of tasting food, feeling food, smearing food all over his face and body and of course, the best is THROWING FOOD!!!!!
    BUBBIES LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mummies don't...but don't worry... it won't last long. Only another couple of years!
    At least, it'll teach them hand-eye coordination...kee kee kee.

  17. Well Norzu, it's no accident. I always censor the "unnatural" ones. :lol:
    Not at all CC. For some reason, he finds it amusing whenever we shoot him. :)
    All the time, Kate!
    Thanks Lilian. You're the best!
    :lol: Knowing the song betrays your age, Buaya!
    I'm anxious and nervous about what's to come, Twinsmom!
    You're bad influence, Leo. *piak*
    :lol: That would be the dream, Maverix!
    You must be Hainanese to know that flat-head thing, Jason. :lol:
    Mdmafia: Handsomer, I hope. *ahaks*
    Not to worry, Hazel. Amir's good looks make up for his lack of bulu!
    Thanks Visithra!
    Good idea, Anjali. I'll sneak him some soon enough! :lol:
    :lol: Mumsgather. All daddies want their kids to be carnivores.
    Thanks 9. Will update soon enough!
    MOO+1: A couple of years? Oh noooo!!!!

  18. Wow, Jesse is a big boy now, eating solids already! All babies are messy eaters. Seeing how wrapped up he is makes me laugh out loud!
    Emily will be four months old soon. I plan to start her on solids soon but part of me wants to wait a little longer so that she can get more breastmilk. Decisions, decisions!

  21. He's so cute! He looks like one of those adorable little puppies that are just so helpless and goofy and floppy that you just HAVE to sayang them. Babies smell so good.

  24. :lol: Ariel, after the first couple of times of cereal, we decided to keep Jesse well protected.
    Less is more, Gina. Hehh!
    I suspect that's true, Cherry. :)
    Thanks Julie.
    For some strange reason, Jesse doesn't have too much of a smell Saffron. Most of the time he's just neutral. :)
    He seems to pose for pictures, Eileen. It's weird. :)
    Porridge will have to wait till he's 6 months old, Mugmug! :)
