Open Letter for My Son – Miki’s First Solid Food

Dear Miki,

Today you age 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days old. It seems just like yesterday when I suffered the haunting e.p.i.s.i.o.t.o.m.y over you. Looking at how fast time flies, I am inspired to write open letters to you. I hope someday when you are old enough to read and understand what your parents write in this website, you have already know how much they are devoted to you and how much they deserve an anniversary honeymoon in Paris, all expenses paid by you.

Miki,

Ever since you were born, you have always been a good baby. You only cry if you are hungry, or sleepy, and when I leave the room. Sometimes when the ghost(s) from Giant Kinrara follows us home, you will cry too but you never fuss over petty things like when I accidently bump your head on the car ceiling and on the wall beside our bed and this other time when I… well I think we can forget about what happened during that other time. You can even sleep with poopoo in your diaper! Thats how cool you are!

But last week you turn cranky. Amok is your new habit, and its rather difficult to cajole you back to your usually cheerful self and to get you to play on your own. You begin to bite at your toys, books, blankie, your toes, my fingers, my teats! Usually you only suck on those things as if they were a pacifier. Your Daddy and I figured that perhaps you are teething and that is causing you much discomfort. You have all the signs like excessive salivation, bad mood and chewing on objects. What else could it be?

But your babysitter, Kak Rose indicated a different thing. She thinks YOU ARE HUNGRY. That you must be given FOOD! After much thinking we realize that yes perhaps you are no longer satisfied with milk alone. After all you have grown so big and strong it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that you are in need of more. My initial aim is to introduce solid food to you when you are six months old, but I guess you cannot wait.

So today I feed you your first solid food, which really not solid at all – its avocado puree mix with expressed breast milk. You love it! I am so surprised! I thought you would eat maybe a teaspoon or two but you gulp down about 20! You made funny faces when the puree first touches your mouth and then you started to get really excited and gobble down the creamy green puree like its the most delicious thing in the world. You wave your limbs about and open your eyes so wide I am afraid they are gonna pop. It makes me wonder how you will react to chocolate someday?

Baby First Solid Food

Miki,

You fell asleep right after I clean up your messy face. Such a lazy bum you are, I wonder where you get that from!? And when you wake up you were all happy and laughing and talking to us in your adorable baby talk. And much to my astonishment, your excessive slobbering stop. Completely stop. Could you have been hungry for food ever since you started to drool? Boy oh boy! I didn’t know that all these days you have been KEBULUR?! Or perhaps you have just mastered the fine art of swallowing your saliva? I’d vote for the latter. Oh dear, my cheerful smiley baby returns immediately after I stuff you with gooey gooey green mash! Sob!

Miki my baby, you have grown so big! Look at you, you are eating! Soon you will go to school and I do your homework…. Then you will go on dates and I drive you in cars… Isk isk…! I hope you will remember that you are not allowed to date girls from THAT state of Malaysia! Its a lesson I taught you since birth. Isk Isk.. Mummy and Daddy loves you endlessly, Miki! Fret not my darling,if you ever choke on your kuih apam puree, Mummy will always be there for ya..

Lots of love from your Mummy.

  1. dah ku agak…dan mungkin inikah masanya utk diintroducekan kembali kepada kuih apam itu. aku dan nize berbangga utk mengajarnya cimiki makan pulut durian dan ketam goreng

  2. …dan juga lepat pisang, cekodok pisang, kuih tart, kuih koci dan tak lupa kuih batang buruk..!! keh keh keh
    =P kepeh kepeh

  3. jgn disumbat byk2…try sket dulu then tgk dia punya poo-poo camner. takut kena sembelit plak nnt.

  4. kompom la mulai saat ini akan berlaku satu pergaduhan di rumah diyana dan azman. pergaduhan di antara miki dan ibunya berebut makanan. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  5. Look at you, you are eating! Soon you will go to school and “I do your homework…”—-pasrt yang i do ur homework tu mmg membuat kan aku terguling2 gelak!!!hahhaah

  6. Diyana…what a sweet open letter to Miki…

    Tengok tu…mata dia bulat…happy aje bila lepas makan…sebab tu lah orang tua2 selalu dodoikan anak2…

    Gendang gendut tali kecapi..
    Kenyang perut suka hati…

    Lelap betul dia…dulu anak kak lady 2 bulan lebih dah kasi makan…heheheh…sebab tak tahan dia meragam melalak malam2 takmo tido….bikin mak ayah fenin…

    Insyallah…bila Miki dah besar…dia akan belanja Diyana honeymoon ngan ayah dia…hehehhe

  7. dan cimiki juga perlu belanja uncle baninya trip ke overseas jugak kerana dgn beradanya cimiki di perut ibunya, ibunya telah mentraumakan diri saya sehingga skrg…

  8. apsal pulak ko pun mintak trip kat cimiki? mak dia mana ada traumakan hang…oooo pak dia traumakan hang kot. sebenarnya, setelah cimiki lahir, dia pun wajar dipersalahkan. kerana dialah aku selalu buat lawak bodo kalau depan dia…tu semua kerana cimiki

  9. aku tak penah traumakan en.kepehkepeh..tetapi…dia yg sering mentraumakan aku dgn lawak tak habis dan gelak sendiri itu..
    begitu jugak dgn cerita ularnya yg tak pernah dia berjaya abiskan sejak 10 tahun yg lalu…

  10. sepanjang hayat..tak pernah aku makan avocado….cimiki cimiki…iskk..iskk..
    tak boleh la aku guna pepatah ..lebih dulu makan avocado…aku cuma leh guna..lebih dulu makan garam..saja…

  11. aku rasa banyak citer yg nize tak berjaya habiskan. kalau diterbitkan buku ‘siri bercakap dgn nize’ kompom sampai cimiki dah jadi atok pun takkan abis citer nize tu. ending satu citer belum abis, dah intro citer lain

  12. 1) mak aku pun dulu slalu buat homework kat aku gaks.. spashly homework lukisan.. sampai slalu dpt A
