Dear Ziggy,

Looks like somebody’s starting to enjoy his solid foods! Hooray! Instead of having to trick you into eating off the spoon, we have reached the point where you will lunge for it and eagerly eat your apples, pears, bananas, peaches, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, rice/oat/barley/spelt cereal and plain rice juk.

I love that you are starting to enjoy eating because me and your Daddy are major foodies (if you couldn’t tell from our chubbiness).

I didn’t used to think of food as much more than fuel til I met your Dad. He introduced me to a bunch of stuff including avocados, asparagus, sushi, eggs (I used to hate them), even ketchup and pickles! I was very close-minded, once but that got boring really fast. Life got much more exciting when I loosened up and was willing to try new things. I’m glad you’ll be exposed to all sorts of cuisines (real Chinese food, Thai, Malaysian, Japanese, Indian, Spanish, to name a few) and am hoping you’ll be willing to try anything at least once. Living with us, and having relatives that are big into good food, it’ll be pretty hard for you not to turn out to be anything but a food lover. If not, we’re going to have to double check things back at the lab.

Food is love,
Mommy
