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!

Shady Shades

Hyzyd doesn't like wearing wearing shades. The moment you'll let him wear, he'll automatically take it off...maybe he's just to young for this. I'm just glad I had taken some photos of him when he's 6 months old when our neighbor put this shade on him for the first time! The following photos were taken last week when we are playing. I let him wear my shades!...LOL! More babies with shades at Mommy Moments .

Mommy Moments-Part of the Family

I'm dragging myself from bed just to sneak in here and post my Mommy Moments entry. Oh my, I'm so sleepy . I would say that Hyzyd is so blessed to have loving uncles and aunt but the only one he knows by this time is my bro and preggy sis-in-law. They're both teachers too here in Hatyai City, Thailand. They usually spent their weekend with us because they miss my baby . I haven't yet experienced what is it to be aunt that's why I'm overly excited to meet my first niece by October ! Hyzyd was able to meet his Aunt Doxa when he was born. She's our youngest and she became an aunt at age 6. She's very happy to meet her first nephew. She came along with our parents and stay with us for almost 2 months. His aunt Doxa surely missed Hyzyd terribly . Hope they'll meet again this coming October! Join us every Friday at Mommy Moments and enjoy what it takes to be a mommy!
