Food for the week

Hyzyd is already eating 2-3 tablespoons of single-grain cereal a couple of times a day, I now start to introduce vegetables and fruits to him. Because, I'm at home, I'm making my own baby food for the following reasons:

1. I know what's in it, thereby I could ensure healthy and wholesome meals for my baby.
2. I can tailor the texture to my baby's preferences.
3. I can shape my baby's taste and help him learn what fresh foods taste like.

This week I started to have the following meal plan:

Breakfast: 2 tbsp (25 ml) Infant cereal-Mixed fruit and milk flavor
1/4 cup (50 ml) mango (blended)

Snack: his milk

Lunch: 1/4 cup carrots (boiled, then blended)

Snack: formula feeding on demand

Supper: 2 tbsp (25 ml) Infant cereal-Mixed fruit and milk flavor
1/4 cup (50 ml) apples (boiled then blended)

Snack: formula feeding on demand

Why I choose mango, carrots and apples for this week?

Mangoes help the body maintain bowel movement regularity and fight infection. Carrots are naturally sweet and very nutritious. Cooking carrots maximizes their nutritional potential and flavor. Apples are good source of soluble fiber, which helps with bowel function and may lower cholesterol levels.

Hyzyd surely enjoys his meals for this weeks. We're looking forward for otherhealthy homemade meals next week!

Mommy Moments- Hyzyd's playing time

Aside from playing by himself , Hyzyd's fave playmates are his dad and his uncle Bjoy-my bro. He's enjoying every minute of it! Last July 4, 2008, it's Hyzyd's first time exploring the toys in TESCO play station! It isn't yet time for him to play in there for it's recommended for 1 year old and above but he's gesturing to his dad that he want to try on! What a fun he had! We bought that green elephant because the first time he saw it and try on it, he just love it. He will not let go of the poor elephant. You'll see he's riding on it while we're shopping. Head on to Mommy Moments to see other kids enjoying their playing time!

Mommy Moments-Why Hyzvhann Hyzydyll?

The name of our son is Hyzvhann Hyzydyll (read as Hezvan Hezedel). Many are wondering how did we get the name, what does it mean and how to read it. Some jokingly commented that maybe I hate the vowels and some named him the consonant baby...he..he..he. The name was given by his grandfather (my father). We told him that it will be an honor for us if he could give the name of their first grandson. Actually, my father is the one who give us our names-from the eldest (it's me) 'till the 14th child (our youngest). We all have two given names like me I'm named after the combination of my parent's name-Benoni and Geneditha. The result is "Genebei" plus their chosen name for me, Faith = Genebei Faith . I noticed that all of us had great and unique names especially our youngest which is named Doxagennes Keilah . Each of our names has corresponding meanings. Hyzvhann is a modified name of the hebrew vocabulary Heshvan (Cheshvan). Heshvan (Cheshvan) or Mar Cheshvan ...

Mommy Moments-Rain, Rain Go Away!

It seldom rains here and when it rains Hyzyd doesn't have a chance to witness the rain coz we just stay in our bedroom, play, watch movie and sleep! For the sake of this meme ( LOL!), I prayed for rain to come and I'll let my baby witness the outpouring of the rain...Heaven heard my prayer and it came right after we came from school. We watched the heavy rain on our balcony and the baby enjoyed it. It's not yet time for my baby to play under the rain . Enjoy reading other entries about kiddos desire to let the rain go away coz " little Johnny " wants to play at Mommy Moments !
