6 and hungry

Last month I've started searching the internet for some baby food recipe's and all about introducing solid food. This site is very informative on baby food, how to's, and recipe's.

See, the moment I learned that I was pregnant I have decided to breastfeed and prepare his food myself and would try my best not to rely on milk formula and store bought baby food.

This week Vierte turned 6 months, which also means he can now start really eating with us on the table. When he reached 4mo, he would hungrily stare at us during mealtime which would always temp his lola bing to let him taste some fruit, veggies and even ice cream kasi "kawawa naman ang bata".

For his first meal, Coy and I planned for me to cook and mash potatoes unfortunately walang available sa bahay so I opted for the only available food for him which was apples.

From the Mashed Apple recipe (yes I have printed a whole lot of babay food recipe) the instruction was to peel, cut to cubes, and boil the apples with just enough water and then mash. I did just that but I think it was not mashed enough so I'm planning to buy something to help me prepare pureed food.

Bernadette, Mich and I had fun watching his expression as he took his first taste of his first meal! hehehe We took several pictures I'll post it after i tweak it a bit.

Coy still havent got a chance to see him eat, we'll be arranging a meal together (yes via webcam) this week.
