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!

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 ...

Hyzyd and the Berenstains' Bears

Hyzyd got new favorites week after week. Most of his favorites involves books. He's not really into toys and movies but books! This week he's into a new book titled "The Berenstain Bears and the Big Red Kite". Guess who's his favorite reader? His dad! He won't let me read it to him. Poor mommy!:( On the other, I'm quite relieved because Hyzyd is giving his dad a hard task...he..he...He won't let his dad go over to other pages. He wanted his dad to create stories after stories out from this illustration for as long as 30 minutes! LOL! I also enjoy the stories made up by his dad- stories that came from "out-of-nowhere". can you help us make more more stories out from this illustration? It seems that we're running out of ideas...LOL! an entry for
