	Hi! My name is Christopher and I have just completed my 4th month. Aunty Cecilia says that today I have to start learning how to eat semi-solids. If I leave it too long I will not be able to coordinate taking food into the mouth and swallowing it.
	See the bowl? It has 1 teaspoon baby rice mixed with water to make a smooth paste and I am supposed to eat all that.
	Ok, I am ready for the first mouthful.
	Yikes! What was that? This taste yucky. I am so used to drinking my nice milk from a bottle and this is nothing like it!
	Hmm, you want my opinion about the paste? Firstly, it is absolutely tasteless. It is not as smooth as my milk and it is not easy moving it to the back of my mouth to swallow it.
	Ok aunty Cecilia, you can hit me again with the next spoonful.
	Oops! Looks like I did not get it right because it all came out again.
	“Not to worry” says aunty Cecilia “we’ll just scoop it back in again and again if necessary”
	See! She got it all back in and I swallowed it all.
	Hold it! Hold it! Let me think. Do I want to continue eating this tasteless yucky paste???
	Hey! I am not a quitter so let’s go. Give me the next spoonful….
	…… and the next.
	…… and the next.
	Hello, I finished all that was in the bowl in 15 minutes. Heck! It wasn't that bad after all. Aunty Cecilia says that I am a clever boy and we will do this again tomorrow. She says that I can only eat this once a day for the next 3 weeks then she will add vegetable powder to the rice. Hmm, wonder what that will taste like.
	“Hey aunty Cecilia, does this mean that I can now eat the same food as my mummy and daddy?” Sigh! She says no, I will have to wait until I am over 1 year old before I can do that but she will let me start eating some cheese and other stuff when I am over 10 months old, yeah! Eh….what is cheese?

A Touch Of Love

You were six months old and full of fun,
with a blink of my eye, you were suddenly one.
There were so many things we were going to do,
but I turned my head and you turned two.

At two, you were very dependent on me,
but independence took over when you turned three.
Your third birthday; another year I tried to ignore,
but when I lit the candles, there weren’t three, but four.

Four was the year that you really strived.
Why, look at you now, you’re already five.
Now you are ready for books and for rules.
This is the year you go to school.

The big day came, you were anxious to go.
We walked to the bus going oh, so slow.
As you climbed aboard and waved good-bye,
I felt a lump in my throat and tears stung my eyes.

Time goes so fast it’s hard to believe
that just yesterday you were home here with me.
And tomorrow when the bus brings you home
and you jump to the ground
you’ll be wearing your cap and graduation gown.

So I’m holding to these moments as hard as I can,
because the next time I look, I’ll be seeing a man.
