PF #2: My Little Ice Cream Girl

I know we should be very careful when introducing new kind of food to our little ones. I told everyone at home about it. We tried and keep on trying until now. But how can we resist when a little girl keeps on giving us sad looks as if we are not feeding her. During exceptional times, those sad looks are accompanied with little cries. It is both funny and heart-breaking for us.

One exceptional day, Maxyn saw her Ate Ayex eating some dirty ice cream. Hubby who was carrying her bought another one for himself and Maxyn kept on reaching his hand. Hubby allowed her to try it and lo, Maxyn did not remove her hand from the cone! Later on, hubby gave in and let her hold the cone.

Look at how she enjoys eating her dirty ice cream. I bet she will be asking for more if only she could talk!

Is Ice Cream Safe for Babies

Maxyn turned 9-months-old yesterday

Maybe that was why she did not want to let go of me while I breastfed her yesterday morning before I went to work. I totally forgot about it. I only remembered when Ate Meriam called me to ask what food will they prepare for our celebration. I’m so stressed recently with work but still I should not forget these important dates.

Here are Maxyn’s milestones:

  • crawls more and more
  • tinkers little things, specially those new in her sight
  • experiments how things work
  • enjoys putting things in her mouth
  • stands up with support on her own
  • reaches for things above her
  • shows signs of stranger anxiety
  • eats more variety of food
  • enjoys seeing moving things more like cars and lights
  • babbles a lot
  • explores her environment more

For our celebration, we feasted on Leoning’s Pancit Bihon-Guisado.  I also bought some pork and shrimp siomai from Master Siomai and a small cake in Trinoma. We also bought a half gallon of Selecta Choco Almond Fudge in the nearby bakery. They wanted Fat Boy’s Pizza too but it does not compliment our pansit so we removed that. I wanted some Arny-Dading peachy-peachy but we did not find their branch along Congressional Avenue. Maybe when we have more time, we’ll look for that branch.

Baby Teething Remedies

As previously mentioned, our little Maxyn is teething again. She’s been really fuzzy since weekend. She refuses to be put down and wants to be carried most of the time. When you put her down, she will play with her toys for a while. I think she remembers that her gums are aching because after that short time, she would start crying and even shouting. She has two pearls that are just peeking at the same time so I am assuming that she is really having a hard time. She is not the only person having difficulty, we do too. Here are the things we do to keep all of us sane.

  • When baby has low-grade fever, we give her pedia-recommended paracetamol. The dose is according to the baby’s age.
  • To sooth the pain of teething, we give our baby frozen items like spoon or teething rings.
  • Giving the baby some teething biscuits also works for us.
  • Sometimes, we apply Xylogel to the baby’s gums to also relieve the pain.
  • Most importantly, when the baby is teething, we show her more love and patience.

I really hope her two teeth come our fully soon because she keeps on biting me when I breastfeed her.
