Sweet Potatoes



Mike tried out his first taste of something other than breast milk: sweet potato.

As with Titus, I'm planning to make all the baby fruits and veggies. 'Cept this time I shall be making the rice cereal too. Turns out that it's actually not so difficult to make your own baby porridge from brown rice, oatmeal or barley. Good thing, because China's supermarket shelves don't carry good quality baby rice cereals -- they have sugar and seem so artificial. This is probably because only a small margin of Chinese yuppies are feeding their kids processed rice cereals. My observation is that the vast majority of families have a granny who is making steamed egg yolks, rice porridge, tofu, bananas and sweet potatoes for her grandkid.


And here's a snowsuit photo, as a bonus!
Chinese New Year will inaugurate the Year of the Rabbit, so ugly little bunnies are beginning to show up on all kids of things, hence the hat.
