Newer, better, tastier!


Mommy has prepared for me a rice dish babies in Japan eat. It is called Okayu and is rice that is cooked very, very well and then mashed up.



Mommy then put the Okayu is some small muffic cups and placed it in the freezer. It's a real time saver because Okayu takes time to boil down to ensure it is soft enough. Here's what it looks like frozen. My Mommy is very smart don't you think?



Oh boy, here's the first veggie I ate. My Mommy got some freeze dried baby food from Japan and we all decided that I should try edamame (soybeans) and green peas first.



Here's what the cubes of freeze dried food look like. You mix one cube with 2/3 teaspoon of hot water. It's a small portion,which is perfect for me and it is very convenient for Mommy.



I know it doesn't look too appetizing but who cares? I am a baby and I don't know any better yet (did you expect it to look like a Big Mac?). It tastes good because my Daddy tried some and he told me it was tasty.



Here's what it looks like mixed. Next my Mommy mixes the veggies with Okayu and I'm ready for chow!

I can't believe I ate the whole thing . . . . . .



Hey Dumbo and Pooh san, food is good! Note - terror chair is getting more and more acceptable. We've added one of the chair toys back. My new game is to knock my toys off the tray of terror chair and wait for Mommy or Daddy to pick them up and put them back on the tray. I knock them off again, squawk, and Mommy and Daddy come back over and put them back on the tray. It's so much fun, I could do this for hours!

I like food!


Well, we decided to try rice cereal yesterday. Momoka is absolutely enthralled when we eat. She will follow that fork or spoon right up to the pie hole and then makes some little lip smacking noises once the utensil finds its target. Here's the cereal we fed her . . . . .

With a name like "Happybellies" it's got to be good, right?



Mixed with a little formula and viola, a gourmet feast



First a little milk to make sure I am not too hungry and I don't get too frustrated with this whole eating thing . . . . . .



Hmmmm, not bad but the food Mommy and Daddy eat looks and smells better than this stuff . . . .



Got any chocolate or caramel sauce you can put on the top of this shredded cardboard?



Mommy says I've got to chew my food and I would if Daddy would just get the food in my mouth instead of on my face. Messy Daddy!



Happybellies is OK but my thumb tastes better!



Mommy had a great idea of using a baby spoon with some formula to practice eating with. We had done the "practice" feeding a couple of times before we went full bore with the real stuff. Great idea Mommy - she knew what to expect! Here's a photo with our little gal practicing with her spoon.


Hey Daddy how about one of those spaghetti and meat sauce MRE's I keep hearing about!
