Week 30 of motherhood here. Kiko is still on the same eating schedule of baby food and formula, but she is now showing preferences. She eats a mush of vegetables (carrots, potato, tofu etc) first and then have some milk. This week I found there are Anpanman (Japanese catoon character) biscuits for 7 month old and up, and decided to pick them up. She prefers the biscuits to veggie mush but we primarily stick to veggie mush and tofu plus one biscuit after finishing the mush. It’s so fun to see her grab a biscuit and enjoy eating it on her own though! I’m tempted to give her more, but resisted the urge:p

Back home, there is a picture of my sister when she turned one year old. My parents gave her a strawberry short cake for her birthday for the first time in her life, and the picture of her biting down the cake with whipped cream all over her face and hands is priceless! I want to do that for Kiko’s 1 year old birthday…

Kiko is now able to actively choose her toy of preference so we put all of them on a shelf and let her use the walker to roll over to the shelf and choose her toy for herself. She plays primarily with a grey silicon cup (which was a gift from my sister to Andy, but Kiko took it), coke pet bottles and plastic bags. So strange she chooses these over cute stuffed animals! What was your childhood favorite toy? I think mine was Jenny doll (like a barbie doll). Unfortunately Jenny became bald after my failed attempt to give her a hair cut…
