Jac eating Okayu (sp?) with Ama

Jac's Ama (Joseph's mother) made Jac some Okayu. This is a traditional Japanese dish that if fed to babies. Jac seems to really like it. He has eaten some two days in a row now which is more than I can say for anything else we have tried.
Ama has a very practiced hand at feeding him, a technique we will need to learn. She is very gentle and Jac did not gag at all. The first time she gave him Okayu she really watered it down so it was really more of a liquid and he took that easily. Today she gave it to him with a little less water and a little bit more thick and he did well with that also with no gagging or throwing up! Yeah!

He also ate some grape juice with Ama. She took grapes from their backyard and ground them and fed him the resulting juice which he also seemed to like!
