Welcome to February's Baby of the Month -
Cute Little Cache, 9 Months, from the Philippines

Cache's Mum, Liezl, told us...

Cache, a preemie baby (born at 7 months only) started eating solid food when she was six months old. Sadly, after several days of eating commercially prepared food, she developed rashes all over her body and she was hospitalized for two days and was given steroids and anti-allergy for a week.

A month after that fateful incident, I tried giving solid food again to her. This time, freshly prepared food and she liked it (thank God no more allergies). She loves to eat squash, sweet potato, potato, apple, banana, broccoli, and a whole lot more.

In this photo, she's getting ready for her breakfast and she's excited. She loves to eat in her walker.

Thanks for sharing this photograph, Liezl - Cache looks wonderfully healthy now and we so glad to hear that she is safely enjoying so many healthy foods!

And thank you, too, to everyone else who entered last month!

Here are some more of our favourite pictures sent in during January, along with a few words from Mum...

Amrutha - from Hangzhou, China

She likes banana and enjoys Heinz egg yolk cereal to the fullest - as soon as she tastes this cereal, her face becomes big with a broad smile!

She dislikes apple - maybe because of sourness - but she still manages to finish the cup.

Ethan, 13 months - from Virginia, USA

He loves all kinds of food.

He's not quite fond of apple sauce though. His favorite is chicken noodle soup and fried rice. This is a pic of him when he was 4 months. He had a mouth full of jello!

Katie, 7 months, from Illinois, USA

Katie loves her solids ! Her favorites are anything mixed with pears!

She especially loves her oatmeal and pears with just a pinch of cinnamon in the mornings!

Slate - 8 months, from Clarksville, VA, USA

Slate loves solid foods!

He enjoys applesauce and cereal for breakfast!

His favorite foods are peas, green beans, carrots, and pears!

Sonya and Rhea, 7 months - from Canada

"Looking in the Mirror"

Our twin daughters Sonya and Rhea are 7 months old. They love fruits, specially the preparations made by mom. Their favorite snack is sweet potato puff. Oh boy! do they ever love to eat that!

They are very interested in our food and try to grab our food all the time. It's so cute to watch them eat when they love something. They make happy sounds!

They are two happy babies who enjoy each other's company a lot.

Tasia, 5 months - from Los Angeles, CA, USA

Tasia seems to eat better when she puts her toy up to her mouth together with the spoon!

She eats pea puree, green beans, and sweet potatoes and always enjoy a apple puree without sugar in the end of her meal, also sometimes rice cereal is mixed with apple juice or water. I'll introduce oats pretty soon for her.

She is the light of our lives...

Zachary, 8 months - from Watkins, MN, USA

He gets this excited all the time, so many laughs around our house!

Oh wow, Zach has liked food from the very first spoonful.

He really likes bananas, but really he likes anything we have given him. He loves making a mess out of the teething biscuits and all we can do is laugh when he has finished one of those cause it is every where on him and the tray. Sometimes we wonder if he even ate any or just played with it. He does love those biscuits!

He gets so excited when he sees Mommy & Daddy making him something to eat. He can barely stand the wait sometimes. When he waits he pounds on the tray with excitement smiling ear to ear. It is so cute, how excited he gets. While eating he always make mmmmmm noises after each spoonful. He has done this since we first started feeding him.

Zach is a very happy little boy who is always exploring things with his hands and mouth. He never leaves any thing along it's always touch, touch, touch with him, but we always get so many laughs out of what he does.
