¿Qué come Kora?

Baby Kora is a good eater. But yesterday and today she started getting fussy while eating. Then came the teddy-bear poop face, which is like winnie the pooh smiling, except it's not because he found honey, it's because he's bearing-down (pun intended). I talked to a nurse today about Kora's poop and described it as Teddy Bear Poop Face and she said, "I know exactly what you're talking about." Anyway, babies are allowed to grunt and push a little while pooping, but it seems like Kora might need a little more water with her food along with more fiber. The goal is "mashed potato" textured poop, not "smashed ube," I guess. (Smashed ube in, smashed ube out?) TBPF arrived 3 times today, all during mealtimes. I guess her high chair is her #1 place to #2. Maybe eating just reminds her body to make room for more food. TMI alert, when I stay at my parents' house, this is exactly what happens to me every breakfast. 😬 The reminding...

Kora is 8 mo old today! For lunch she ate pampano with carrots and ube+cow's milk. She liked the pampano. Filipino baby! In a couple days she'll be eating frijoles negros. Then after that it'll be gallo pinto. Bebita Tica! She really loves everything though. Today I portioned or her food and she probably ate another half serving everything and was still hungry. Masibasiba!

Happy New Year! Kora ate organic whole milk vanilla yogurt today. She was supposed to eat plain because of the sugar, but the organic section at Safeway was skinny. We'll let her eat plain later and the grownups will eat the vanilla with granola and chocolate chips. Hehee. We'll, not Tío. Today we mixed it with banana. She also ate ube with whole milk and espinacas and avocado. She likes espinacas over eggs, maybe because the eggs are kinda chunky. She liked both ube+milk and espinacas+aguacate, but she slightly liked ube+milk more. I got jealous and made myself an adult serving of ube and milk. 😂.  Tomorrow we give her a little bit more cow's milk products, then move on. I suppose we should do wheat and soy... At first she was eating only for the flavor, but it seems like now she's eating for the extra calories. She was starting to be unsatisfied with her dede supply a little while back, but has been pretty happy since we bumped her up to 3 solid meals a day.
