Eating habits
Devaangi has really improved drastically in her eating
habits. Earlier the bachu used to survive mostly on milk but now finally after
about 7-8 months of persuasion she has finally started enjoying her food
(though she’s still looks underweight!!!) Bachu now is able to identify
different types of food and is also gradually building a liking and disliking
for different food types.
She still doesn’t like to eat sweets. Papa nahi kahan se
pata chal jaata hai that the food that we going to feed her is meetha . Bus
bachu simply shuts her mouth and refuses to open it!!! It was a task to make
her taste papa’s birthday cake!!
The ONLY exception are chaina murgi (though not that much) and khajoor. Bachu simply loves khajoor. Evey evening when we come back home, bachu and dada have a khajoor eating session. Even if dada has forgotten all about it, bachu will promptly walk to the drawer where khajoor is kept, take out khajoor and tell dada ‘khajul’ (that’s the way bachu spells it) khana hai!!!!

The most amazing part is that bachu is able to differentiate
between chocolates and toffees. This is despite the fact that we try and
control that bachu doesn’t get to eat chocolates and toffes much.
A few days back, our neighbour gave bachu half a laddoo of
tirupati balaji Prasad and guess what jo bacha meetha nahi khaata hai usne woh laddoo pura khatam kar diya !!!!
Bachu now willingly eats, roti, parantha(her fav being aaloo
parantha), idli(which she pronounces as iddi)dal, bread, custard, doodh sooji, tamaatar
(tomatoes), kheera, grapes, kela, apple and a few of the vegetables.
The best part is that she now tells you on her own that she wants to eat and also at times what she wants to eat and mostly if she’s able to see the stuff that she wants to eat say kela, she’ll say “aapko kela khaana hai?" which means that she wants to eat kela!!
Another thing that bachu is or rather was fond of while daadi was away is soup. Bachu typically has her dinner in daadi’s lap. When daadi was away for a month in feb, bachu quickly decided to use daada as replacement.
Phir kya tha since daadaji has soup for dinner so bachu also started having soup for dinner with daadaji. The only difference was that daadaji would have soup in his bowl and bachu would have her mini katori to have soup that would be regularly filled up by daadaji. Bachu would sit on the chair next to daadaji and while observing her table manners would have soup in proper manner except in between when she would try and have a spoon from daadaji’s bowl!!

Par jab se daadi is back, bachu is back to her usual self- all love for soup and table manners have gone for a toss. Ab to wahi hota hai jo bachu wants after all
daadi hai na pamper karne ke liye!!!
Bachu also prefers to eat on her own. This can be very messy
at times especially on the dining table where she wants to put her spoon in
every dish that is within her sight or reach!!!. If nothing else she’ll either
push the plate right in front of her towards the bowls kept in the centre or
make a grab at the spoons stand!!! Phir kya hai daadaji ka ultimatum aa jata
hai ki Devaangi table pe nahi aayegi!!!
Devaangi is very fond of chatpatta khaana. Give her anything theekha and she'll enjoy having it all the while saying micchi ha along with running watery discharge from her nose!! Couple of days back someone got amritsari papads for us. Those of you who have had amritsari papad will know how teekhe (spicy) these papads are. Par bachu being bachu, had almost half a papad while alternating it with water!!! Despite our asking her to let go of the papad, bachu ne papad khaana nahi choda!!
Aur aaj to bachu had her share of samosa too which like all namkeen stuff she enjoyed including the hard crust!!!
I am sure naani and bachu will have a lovely time when bachu is little older enough to go and enjoy chaat papri with naani(poori naani pe gayi hai- chatpata khila lo par meetha nahi!!!)
