Papaya Mom

Papaya has begun solids, if they can be called that. For the last few
days she’s had a few tablespoons of rice cereal with water daily and
loves it - it is a lot more like “mush” than “solid” in my book.
Unlike a few weeks ago when we tried this, she now gets most of the
food swallowed with little to no trouble. She opens her mouth wide
for the incoming spoon and seems happy to be eating. Luckily she has
not had any issues with getting stopped up at the other end so we are
in the clear. In the next few days I plan to add in some squash,
carrots or green beans depending on what is organic and fresh at the
local Grocery!

Tutu, Papaya and I spent the day at Auntie Tutu’s house (my aunt
Janine) going through my Grandmother Wyatt’s things that are being
saved. We photographed and cataloged the items in an Excel
spreadsheet, but there is a lot more to do. It was so nice that
while my Grandmother was alive, Janine went through everything with
her so we have the story behind many of the jewelry pieces.

Last night we had to have Tutu come and kill a roach that had made it
into Papaya & my room. I am a big wuss about roaches after my roach-in-
the-ear incident which I will spare you the details of. Of course
this left me with little sleep, so now I plan to turn in for the
night. 11:20 p.m. Hawaii time….
