1st Snack

Had wanted to let Rachel try out the baby puffs awhile ago but hubby's unsure.  And since I do not want her to reduce her milk intake(in case), I let it be.  But, she's been siting on the high chair whenever we dine out, I think we should really start her on the snacks, so she could be kept entertained.  In fact, jie jie has started on these puffs earlier if I remember correctly.  So last week, we finally got a 'tub'? of the Gerber puffs in sweet potato flavor but to my surprise, unlike jiejie, Rachel didn't like it!

She also didn't want to use the pincer grasp to pick up the broken up pieces(I break them out for fear of chokage), very stubborn.  Anyway, I've seen her using the thumb and forefinger to pick up small items/ribbons a few months ago, so I'm not too worried on this developement and I guess for this girl, I'd have to let her do things on her own, :)

This morning, after I've been giving her grains of rice when we dine out, I decided to let her try the puffs again and she accepted them.  She even asked for more!  But I can't give more, heaty...  Then, I let her drink water from a cup, something which she seems to enjoy since a couple of months ago, but I think she still can't control very well, not much spillage this time round though but she choked abit, heee.

Then, as I was snacking on bread, she wants too, I peeled some tiny bits for her and she likes it too, another bread princess? hahaha, but at 9mths old, I'm not sure if bread is ok, 'cos it contains yeast.   Will check that out...
