Alicia’s First Bowl of Porridge

12 Sep

Mummy has been complaining lately about being sucked dry all the time. And if you didn’t know that we have a constantly hungry 5 month old baby, you would think that we are living with a vampire. So, the time had come for us to supplement her liquid-only diet with some good ol’ solid food, albeit of the bland and tasteless kind. At this stage, we didn’t want to give her anything too tasty for fear of her becoming fussy and not wanting to drink mummy’s milk anymore.

From the photos, you can clearly see that she’s lovin’ it!

Slowly enjoying her first taste.

It feels gooey!

Smacking her lips. Now give me more!

In addition to that, Alicia had also learnt how to lie on her tummy quite recently. Don’t know exactly when it started, but looked like she had been practicing for quite a bit already. She can keep her neck up for a full minute before plonking her head down on the bed in exhaustion. I’m now just waiting for the day I turn around and see her tap dancing behind me, giving me that you-should-spend-more-time-looking-at-me-rather-than-the-computer look.
