Continuing in the Present>>>>>>>>
We started giving food to Devaangi from the time she turned 5 months old. Her first food was cerelac rice flavor. Devaangi had her first meal right after her visit to doctor uncle Raghu. She simultaneously also started having fresh soup. Semi solid food in the form of khitchri, dalia etc started when Devaangi turned 6 months old. It was also the time when we started with a new flavor of cerelac -wheat with apple. But similar to the rice flavor cerelac experience, Devaangi did not take to the new flavor of cerelac. Cerelac eating sessions with Devaangi do not last long as she doesn't eat more than half a katori and that too after lots of face making, turning face away and cajoling.
Devaangi however has taken a liking for namkeen food. Touchwood!!! Devaangi enjoys eating khitchri. We try and give her a variety in the form of dalia- dal khitchri on one day and chawal dal khitchri the next day. Devaangi has a booster seat that we have fixed on the dining table chair. So just like us adults at home bachu too has a fixed seat on the dining table :-) and it is on her table chair that bachu has her meals along with her toys of course.
photo below was taken on 8th mar 2012 d very first time Devaangi sat on her booster chair and had her dinner..
Daily i make a namkeen item and a milk item for bachu before leaving for office. The milk items are typically sweet ones like dalia or oats, or suji doodh or custard which i invariably end up eating as my bachu does not enjoy sweet food... Imagine !!! that's a typical non mehra trait as we mehras simply love meetha....
my dear bachu i hope u start enjoying meetha as much as the rest of the family does...

so much like her papa..
Devaangi is very fussy about her eating... if she is hungry and you give gaps between her spoonful’s, she becomes restless and starts making noise to make u realize that u need to concentrate on feeding her and not talking around...
in between her spoonfuls she looks at dadaji and badi daadi, calls out to them ..(hamari bitiya bahut zoor se awaaz lagati hai...) waits for their acknowledgement as though they approve of her eating, smiles and merrily eats her food...
but try feeding her when her tummy is full... bachu surely knows how to say NO ( a trait maa needs to learn!!) She turns her face away and point blankly refuses to open her mouth. aap lage raho par bachu tas se mas nahi hoti hai.... on top of that she's start protesting by making noises...
bachu also enjoys tit bits from others food. she likes chaatofying honey from dadaji's fingers, sharing tea from papa's and dadaji's cup, eating aalu and other sabji from daadi's plate, marie biscuits from maa, rusk and bread from dadaji and maa, curd from nani and yes last but not the least kada prasad at bade mandir...
woh bacha jo meethi cheeze ghar be nahi khaata hai eats kada prasad halwa at bade mandir like anything... we stop feeding her kada after some time as it is rich in ghee but my bachu can go on and on eating kada.. that's indeed Guruji's kripa on her... aur kyon naa ho after all Devaangi hai to Guruji ki blessings to us...
well i need to rush now as my bacha is hungry and her khitchri is waiting for her on the table... bachu has started protesting now….
