Another Milestone!
Today, Joshua had his first taste of real food. Ana got him some Milupa starter baby food last week. Tita Baby, his pediatrician gave the go-ahead signal last Saturday, after Joshua finished his last round of immunization shots.
This morning started with the auspicious feeding of the little tiger as his mom and yaya pulled out his starter dish (specially crafted with a suction grip at the bottom), his rubber lined spoon (so as not to damage his baby gums), and of course, his first meal of Milupa mixed with infant formula.
It was a success! Solid food became an instant hit for Joshua.
Joshua was in his stoller and was positioned upright to begin the rituals. The first gulp was fraught by trepidation as his mom gingerly laddled a tad of mush and put it front of him. After eyeing and sniffing the mush suspiciously, Joshua decided to take a teeny bite of the stuff. I could see his face playing out a range of emotions - from confusion, to apprehension, and finally into a realization that real food is good stuff!
He liked it very much; so much, in fact, that he finished off all of what was mixed in the bowl.
My camera ran low on power so I only got a shot in. Nonetheless, I know there will be much, much more pictures and videos in the future.

Hi Bob,
Milestone indeed!
Lilo is voracious now and eats virtually anything. Fortunately she isn't allergic to anything she has ever eaten although she had throne problems after eating mashed banana.
She can now sit on her bottom with both her arms supporting her on the ground. I guess pretty soon she can sit up on her own without wobbling over. She doesn't know how to crawl forward though... oddly, pabaligtad siya gumalaw.
Lilo also tried a dip in the kiddie pool while on Joy's lap yesterday... she actually lives for waterlogged moments in her bath-ya. Kung pwede nga eh 5x a day maligo, nagagalit pag binibihisan...
We are going to Baguio this weekend, her first long-distance trip. We are going to show her off at my dad's Baguio City High Golden Jubilee. Naturally... there will be lots of pix!
Hi to Ana :)
Well, have a great time in Baguio. I am sure Lilo will appear in your pictures with full rosy cheeks on account of the pleasant weather. We also have a feeling Joshua is going to enjoy swimming. I think all kids seem to like this (perhaps it is a throwback to the time they lived in a fluid-filled environment of the womb?).
