Brothers are forever

Brothers share a special bond,
Like blood, brotherhood,
It’s thicker than water.
Friends may come and go,
And relationships may drift apart,
But brothers are forever.
Though the sun may rise in the east,
And set in the west,
We will still be brothers.
Though the seasons may change,
Spring, summer, fall and winter;
We will still be brothers.
What God has ordained,
No man can change,
Brothers are forever

Dedicated to my sons, Richmond and Tromson

Rich son around 6 - 7 mos

yeayyy he loves to eat...

Finally, I can see that he loves to eat too...
Mommy made mix carrot, sweet corn, cauliflower puree, mix sweet potato, broc, tomato puree, banana peach puree and papaya pear puree and he loves them all
It seems that one small container is not enough for him hehe...

So far, he has eaten 3x a day
Breakfast : a whole banana
Lunch and dinner : same meal

He's more accepting to plain water too even though he hasn't loved it yet.
But slowly he will...
Mommy gives plain water after each meal by using srynge. It's only 10ml each.

Well done boy !

West Coast Park on Sunny Sunday (2 March 2014)

After quite sometimes break from going to park, yesterday we went to West Coast Park.
Tromson has now in the curiosity stage, he likes to observe and touch new things.
And when we brought him to the park, he's so eager to see what's going on around him

What a lovely Sunday !

Attending wedding (1 March 2014)

This is the second time, we brought the whole family attending wedding.
This time round was fine dining wedding celebration at Il Lido, Sentosa
Congratulations to Uncle Indry and Aunty Dian

Back to puree...

After three days his appetite was back to normal again and no longer teething, mommy prepared him puree again.
The reason behind is, it's faster and save time.
When mommy do BLW to him, it spends half an hour to watch over him, then must clean him and his tray with small intakes and more wastage.
In addition, koko Richie also wants to be accompanied so mommy can't spend much time only feeding Tromson.

So, this week will be mixture vegies and fruits

Vegies :

- mix sweet potato, broccoli and tomato
- mix carrot, cauliflower and corn

Fruits :

- mix peach and banana
- mix papaya and pear

Hopefully this week's intake is good

Yeayy one tooth ...

I don't know if this is supposed to be good or bad news.
The good news is Tromson has one tooth and his appetite has back to normal
The bad news is mommy must be very careful when breastfeed him so he won't bite mommy's nipple and must be careful with his teeth by cleaning it regularly

Baby Led Weaning : carrot againn

This is another third attempt giving him carrot and he knows what to do with carrot eventhough he's gagging in the beginning

Baby Led weaning banana

Tromson has great improvement, when we gave him food in his tray, he knows what to do already.
This time round we give him banana
