Very First Tooth!

Daniel got his very first tooth and we discovered it today!

It's so tiny and soooooo cute!

Lately, he has been sucking his tumb a lot often and drooling lil more than usual. Yes, it was a sign that his tooth was growing and was about to pop up! Haha! :)

I can't believe Daniel already has a tooth and it's amazing how fast he's growing. It's an amazing feeling to go through every little step he takes to grow everyday, together as a family! It's truly amazing!

♡

I tried to open his mouth to take a picture of his tooth but he wouldn't let me! :(

Bummer..

Smiling as usual.

I'm so thankful that he didn't have to go through any hardship (fever, toothache, etc).

It feels like yesterday when he was born and I was holding him in my arms for the first time... but look! He is growing so fast and going through fun new stuff everyday.

A true blessing.

Making Homemade Baby Food (Korean Style Rice Cereal)

Daniel started on eating solid foods few days ago. I gave him rice cereal (packaged one from Whole Foods) mixed with breast milk since few weeks ago. He seems fine (eats well, poops good, no allergic reaction) with it, so I decided to start on making homemade solid foods two days ago.

♥

Here's a recipe for making baby's very first introducing food "이유식" (a.k.a. homemade rice cereal in Korean style).

Side note:

It is well known that rice is very low risk allergy food. They say you can always use rice for your baby in Korea.

For a VERY first food, you need:

1 spoonful of white rice

1 cup of water

1. Wash 1 spoon of white rice until water becomes clear. Soak the rice in the water for +20 minutes (I did this for overnight).

2. Use food blender or mill to grind the rice with 1/4 cup of water until it is grinded VERY fine.

3. Add 3/4 of water + grinded rice into pot.

4. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to low and stir it for about 7 minutes.

5. Drain it through fine strainer.

6. All done! Time to enjoy! :)

Side note:

It can be stored in refrigerator for 2 days. It also can be freezed about 1~2 weeks. I used ice cube to make the job easier. Next time I make it, I only have to take out one cube of already grinded rice (step 1~2) and add it with 1 cup of water and boil (step 4~5). Makes the job easier! :)

Once baby seem to be fine with the rice cereal, you can mix veggies with it and serve. You can also start mixing meat with it when baby is 6 months old to supplement iron need.

Bonus!
