Ramblings of a Mami of Two

Kimi's gonna be 6 month soon. and I have no idea what and how to feed him. Honestly, its just like yesterday when I first nursed him and now he's eating already? Dem time flies. I totally dont know how to start feed Kimi, like, what's going to be his first food???? Bubur? Nestum? Farley's rusk?

Finally we decided on 4 things, a soccer ball, water melon, car, and rabbit. Hahahahaha not sure how the melon ended there. All the drawing was done by Ach . Very precise with all the grid on the drawing! Then we cut the shapes, pieces by pieces, and traced them back on the felts. And there are 2 pieces of each mobile, front-and-back. It doesn't sound as complicated as it sounds, reall...
