Mummy's Musings - A Solid Problem!

My Mini Monster is now 7 months old. I am struggling trying to get 'solids' down that trap! Below, my M.O ( Modus Operandi ) how I started this quest:

* Instead of cooking batches of foods, steaming, blending, pureeing, sieving, freezing, cube-ing etc... I very cleverly thought I would start her on jarred baby foods, do an elimination process, figure out what she liked, and cook those things. All would be wonderful from then on...

* In Mommy-Dreamland, babies open up their mouths and 'ask' for more food.. feed me, feed me they beckon you to channel that little plastic spoon towards their wide open mouths..

* Well, welcome to MY reality. With Cahaya, it is never the right time. After a good nap, wrong time, after a bath, not interested, early in the a.m, no thanks, i'd rather be in the park...

* To be fair, we started out ok. I even have photos to prove it.. mouth wide open for Carrots, Cabana Banana and Squash ( all from Healthy Times ) I thought things were going OK.. until I tried my hand at actually doing the hard work and putting some effort into making her meals.

* REJECTED. EVERYTHING REJECTED! Even my $18/- butternut squash, lovingly prepared, REJECTED!



















* Now zoom forward to current day. I am reading the Doyen of Purees books ( Annabel Karmel ) and trying all the lovely recipes.




* Nothing has been accepted with that 'feed me' look. Sometimes, on a lucky day, I can get some past those pursed lips.... I think I may be having a lot of squash in my diet over the next few days.. oh dear..



* me and my bright ideas... ( husband sniggering in the background telling the baby, "it's ok sweetheart, Daddy doesn't like Mummys' cooking either! he he he )

*I'm NOT a happy camper!

To My Grandads on Fathers Day 17.06.2007




TO MY TWO GRANDPAS. THANK YOU FOR MY WONDERFUL PARENTS. WITHOUT YOU, I WOULD NOT EXIST. I LOVE YOU BOTH, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY GRANDPA ROLAND AND KUNGKUNG GEORGE

To My Daddy on Fathers Day

Dearest Daddy,

this is the very 1st time you are celebrating FATHERS DAY and I just want to say a few things that I never get the chance to.

1. I think you are the BEST Daddy EVER!
2. I love the way you kiss me a THOUSAND times a day ( no kidding )
3. I like the way you disappear whenever I start to cry.
4. And appear when I wake!
5. I love it when you take me for walks in the park, on your really STRONG arms!
6. And the way you keep me out of my stroller when we are out shopping!
7. How you hold me high up for me to see everything going on
8. And I can see how proud you are of me when we are out!
9. How protective you are of me
10. And think I'm the MOST beautiful girl in the WORLD!
11. How you threaten to KILL anyone who hurts me..
12. And how quiet and considerate you've become since I moved in...
13. Generous to a fault, allowing Mummy to buy me only the BEST
14. For telling Mummy off when she doesn't do things OUR way!
15. All the great presents you bring me from your trips ( he he and only shower caps for Mummy )
16. I guess I could go on and on.. but I need to have a nap now, I'm so sleepy. But I know you'll be there when I wake up. Won't you? I promise I won't cry!

I love you Daddy. You are my everything. And I'll always be your GIRL!
