When Miss Kiki was younger, she was so curious and were willing (and wanting) to try all kids of food. This picture is a proof! This was taken in March, just over a year ago.
I remember when she was barely 6 months old, she hadn't even started her rice cereal yet, she would be staring at whatever I ate. Strawberries, rice, oranges..... She would give me a pleading look and lick her lips. Then she started eating cereal, veggies, fruits, eggs.
Then something happened. I'm feeling slightly guilty because maybe when she was at that curious age, I didn't feed her properly, and without a schedule. I know I sometimes forget to feed myself, so I wouldn't be surprised if I had been late in giving her food more than a few times. She sometimes doesn't want to eat, she started rejecting food, and had rapidly lost her baby fat and barely gained any weight in the past year.
She had a period where she would only eat burger patties, and then sometimes just sausages, and then just croissants. She still would snack on defrosted green peas, and she used to looove green onions. Now she is slightly better, but not much. She loves eating fruits: strawberries, mangoes, kiwis, pears, apples. And she also picked up not so good habits like anything chocolate, bottled ice tea, and demanding those things from her grandparents to top it off.
If I could turn back time, I would probably like to pay a lot more attention to what she eats and the eating schedule. I wonder if that would make a difference. But, since I can't anyways, I should really try to move forward and slowly work towards healthier eating habits for me and for her.
