Was stressing that the little one was not eating well in the past few days. She's transitioning to roughly mashed food and softly boiled/thinly cut ones. There were feeding times that she only wants to self-feed and would only take rice puffs and rice crackers. But today at school she munched on brocolli florettes and boiled pumpkins. For snack, I decided to flavor her rice cereal with a bit of pomegranate juice. And for dinner, we cooked pumpkin with nutmeg. She loved both of the things we prepared. Though I realized I did not follow the 3-4 days wait rule to detect possible allergies. Here's to hoping it will be alright. Yummy yum yum! #babyfood #babynarratives
The little one is 9 months old. Stranger danger, tantrums, clingyness, and sleep regression has befallen us. But, she's also pulling up and standing, walking while holding on to objects, eating a lot, and even self-feeding. Today, we even discovered that she can munch on small strips of brocolli and pumpkin. It looks like she's ready for spoon-feeding and baby-led weaning combination! She also got seriously sick, but she fought it like a champion. I think the best things I've heard about her are that she is tough and happy. Through her sickness, her pedia kept on telling me that she's matibay, tougher than babies older than her. Then we hear a lot that she's such a happy baby. When we were hanging out with @cerulean_ciphers, we understood what a bouncing baby literally meant. I often find myself asking the little one if I can borrow some of her happiness. But that's just it, that's the very gift of her existence. Onwards little one, we shall have a lot adventures soon enough! #babynarratives

Happy birthday @hazgo88 !
The little one enjoyed her special quality time with her tita @cerulean_ciphers :) She enjoyed it so much that she passed out while waiting for our ride and she's still sleeping! Thank you for spending Saturday with us. Time is indeed the best gift, though the London haul is wow. Looking forward to our next food/chika/play session. #babynarratives
