We've officially started him on solids. Most of the literature says to wait til the 6th month, and we really did. But one day the boy took a nosedive towards a spoon of yogurt and I realized we were actually resisting his I Wanna Eat Nao cues.
We've given him little tastes of stuff we ate - yogurt, hummus, curry, fruit, oatmeal etc before finally mashing up a piece of squash and feeding him a couple of tablespoons' worth. He made a face but gobbled it up all the same. I don't blame him. The stuff was blander than most of the stuff he'd had a taste of. A couple of days later, we gave him Cerelac (mainly because daddy said he'd eat it up if baby didn't like) which he at first ate sparingly. By the last few bites, he was literally shoving the whole spoon into his mouth. Lola Nanay, on the other hand is afraid we intend to make a habit out of feeding him artificial nommage. She says it'll spoil his appetite for other stuff.
We stopped giving him the cereal after two days since rashes appeared on his neck. He's still nosediving towards everything we eat tho. I guess his appetite is as curious as ever, cerelac or no.

One Sunday, we visited his great grandma up in the mountains. Tito Mark says they're a family of sweet tooths (sweet teeth?), so we brought ingredients for this tres leches cake recipe.
While mommy and Tito Mark baked (he did most of the work really), Manoy took a dip in the pool.
