Euen's Seventh Month

At seven months, she's 16.6 lbs., laughs and giggles with her papa,  invents various facial expressions, eats almost anything that we eat, loves to practice standing up, assisted, of course, and talks more and more.

I let her try any food except for sweets and oily foods.  Whenever we are eating, we find something to give her so that she'll feel she's dining with us.  She's learned to drink more water now.

A day after her seventh month, her first tooth came out! Luckily, she didn't have any fever.  If she hadn't bitten her dad, we wouldn't have noticed the tooth. Yey!

Grinder

This is my new helper when it comes to making the baby's food: Munchkin's baby food grinder.

For the next stage in eating solids, I needed more texture and  less the "smoothness."  There's no need to add water and it makes the baby food bite-sized and chewable.  She won't just swallow like when her food passed through the blender.

Recently, I let the baby try green leafy veggies: malunggay, pechay.  I just chop them in small pieces.  She's becoming a fan of fish as well: tilapia, milk fish, dory and salmon.  She looks forward to desert: raisins, pineapple and dragonfruit.  I am slowly adding real rice in her food also.

She looks forward to eating! And even if we're out, we bring her food so that she'll be able to eat with us.

Vampire Baby

No, this is not Bella.  Ah Ma gave us dragonfruit when we visited them.  

We let the baby try and she loved it.  The  picture above describes how much she did!
