  • Vegetarian in the making?

    We added meat to your potato-carrot puree today. Seasoned with a little bit of garlic and onion, cooked in the olive oil and then pureed with your vegetables. You didn’t want to eat it. We’re not sure if it’s just because you haven’t been eating much these days or if you didn’t like the meat flavor. We’ll see.

  • Creeping forward

    After a few weeks of creeping backwards all over the place, today you lunged forward to try and grab your grandma’s clothes that were on top of the mattress. Good job!

  • It’s green, it’s broccoli

    We mixed broccoli in your carrot – potato puree today. You made a funny face at first but once you got past the first shock, you ate normally. You really looked forward to your bananas for dessert, it’s definitely one of your favorites.

  • Bananarama

    You tried bananas for the first time today. It was after you had your carrot and potatoes puree, so we mashed just a little bit for dessert, and you loved it. We ended up having to mash some more because you were really going for the spoon.

  • After pears, peas

    We tried to give you peas mixed with your carrot and potatoes puree today but you didn’t seem to like them very much. You ate a few spoonfulls and then started refusing to eat more. Then we offered pears and you ate the entire jar!

  • Fruit of the day, Pear

    You tried pears today. After you ate pretty much the entire plate of carrots and potatoes puree, we gave you some pears (baby food from the jar). You made some funny faces but you ate a pretty good amount. So far you seem to be enjoying food quite a bit.

  • LOL

    You were laughing so hard today, your grandma was playing with you and you were just sitting there and cracking up…I made a video and then we showed it to you, and you laughed even more. So cute!

  • Yum!

    Today you had lunch “Brazilian style”: your grandma cooked sweet potatoes and carrots, seasoned with onions and a bit of oil and pureed everything. You loved it. You were happily going for the spoon, it was funny to watch.

  • Rolling and crawling, backwards

    We were all sitting around you on the floor, I put you on your stomach to play for a bit. You started complaining as always and then you finally rolled over by yourself. Both me and your dad saw it and clapped and praised you for it. After a while you were there with grandma and you rolled a couple of times more. It seems you really learned! You also started trying to crawl, but you can’t really figure out how to do it, so you end up moving backwards. You get quite upset and whine a lot, I hope you can figure it out soon!

  • Vaccine? What?

    We took you to the Pediatrician’s office so you could get the shot that was missing at your 6 month appointment. We got there, the nurse weighed you and told us to get ready for the shot. I was expecting you to start screaming like you always did, but this time you didn’t even flinch. I was shocked! You were just laying there, as if saying “what, mom, what’s the big deal?”
