I've been so hungry lately that Mummy has given me some more of the goop I tried a few weeks ago. Yesterday I had a few spoonfuls of this smooth stuff that Mum called brown rice congee, but I got so hungry before she started giving it to me that I got all a bit antsy and bothered because it wasn't easing my hunger pains quickly enough. We ditched the bowl and went for my usual warm milk on tap.

Today was better though. I had half the amount I'd usually drink, then Mum offered me this big bowl of congee. After a few tentative mouthfuls I decided that it was really pretty nice. I watched Mum scoop it from the bowl, then I opened my mouth as the spoon approached and devoured the offering. I only got antsy when Mum was too slow - once she got the speed up we were both happy. I didn't need ages between each mouthful to swallow it - I only needed about one second.

Hopefully I won't get so hungry tonight. Last night I needed a drink at 1am and then again at 5am, and that was after waking about three times between each feed. I cried quite a lot and Mum and Dad both got very annoyed with me - that wasn't hard to work out. But at least I went back to sleep straightaway after the feeds. They seemed to have forgiven me today though - we've had some very nice cuddle and play time. Phew.

Oh, and like Oskar's site, Daddy has added a guestbook to the sidebar. Please sign it if you feel inclined. Thanks!
