5 months and Im a puree baby!

Dr Yip said that I was growing well and Mommy can start on solid food for me when im 5 or 6 months.


On 18th Nov, Im a 5 months old baby and is 5.5months by weeks! (22weeks)


Its definitely exciting for Mommy to explore on all the yummy stuff that is offered on shelves for babies from 4 months old, but Mommy waited patiently before she was given the green light to make sure Im all ready to be a little grown up!



Bye Bye Milk Milk!

You shall not be my favourite thing anymore!



So, on my 5th month birthday, Mommy drove me to Novena Square for some baby stuff shopping and check out the mashy food they were selling.



Mommy had lunch at a cafe and an auntie who was clearing the trays came to play with me :)



I generously gave her a big smile and it delighted her so much that she came to play with me over and over again after clearing up the empty trays!



Ohh...Im am a friendly baby...

First, the cereal.

Mommy asked around and did her homework on the best cereal choice for me. Some were said to be nice smelling but bland, some were on the sweeter side, some organic and some not.

Mommy would prefer a nice smelling, very mild taste and organic ones for me.

So she picked HealthyTimes Organic brown rice cereal from a little organic products shop.

She also asked what were suitable for a baby above 5 months and the shopkeeper suggested baby biscuits which would relieve the gums that were teething.

Im not exactly teething, but i drool a lot and love sucking and chewing on my plump fingers, blankets and especially my shirt, baring my little pot belly often.

Mommy bought the rock hard biscuits for the fun of it and tested on one to see if it breaks up into little crumbles that may be a choking hazard.

Mommy almost changed her xmas wish for 2 front teeth from santas claus after trying my biscuit.

Here we go!!!

Please excuse my exposed Diapers.

My only matching panties were still in the wash. Mommy bought me a few new ones that very day.

Mommy yakked on the phone, arranging to meet my GongGong and PorPor for dinner at The Soup Restaurant later that evening.

...while i get very busy with my biscuit.




Mommy thought that the biscuit smells weird though... it was maple syrup flavoured but smells like hrmmm... dog food?

She advises you to buy the Heniz ones... they are less messy as the maple syrup ones stained my little white hanky and is tough to wash off.

If you need to know, they smell nicer too.


Next, the huge selection of PUREE!!!





Coldstorage is a puree wonderland...

For babies above 4 months, Mommy chose the brands which come in small packaging so that i can finish them within 3 days (which was the lifespan of its freshness after opening) rather than a bigger bottle, breaking it up into mnay feeds for a few days.

Mommy bought mainly Gerber and Earth's Best in sweet potato, carrot, apple and pear puree flavours.

Mommy also bought 3 skinny organic carrots from the supermarket for $2.50. She steamed half the carrot and grind it through the sieve for a home-made puree.

$179 was also invested for a hand-held blender from Phillips which promises to make many many more puree of assorted flavours for me!!!

"Erhemm!!! "

"Pureed Portabello mushroom served on a bed of Pureed Chicken and potato mud drizzled with cream of chicken sauce... and lightly garnished with mashed green peas please!"

ps : (cream of chicken is made by using the natural juice from steaming the chicken breast mixed with my organic milk and bring to boil.)

Envy huh!!!

this is how a meal in my ideal world would look like:




Thanks to Phillips would invented the mighty blender, my lunch would probably look like this :

Then Mommy goes shopping!!!

Blah! Boring!

"Wait Gwenneth... Mommy is choosing something for you as a present.."

Geez...really??

My mom bought me Guess jeans for my 5th month birthday!

Relax Daddy...Its on sale lah!

Mom~ you sure they can fit my trunky thighs? (*points at the triple folds)

Im with possibly the ugliest dinosaur in the world.

I meant that purple thing.

My Mom is as chio as me.

The cereal put to test!!!






Ahhhhhh mammmmm




yum yum

yum yum yum


yum yum yum yum.


I love it!

i love it so much that i would open my mouth and stretch my neck out like a giraffe when Mommy waves the spoonful of cereal in front of my mouth.

Ah ma would scrape and scrape for that very last drop of cereal from the cup for me, giggling and laughing away, seeing my desperate expression for more more more cereal!!!
