Little Holiday for us!

We went camping this weekend with some family - thought we must be mad given the recent weather but we had great weather all weekend and had a fabulous time. JJ was a star and slept brilliantly in the tent and ate lots of yummy food....will try to remember!

Friday - he had some lovely chicken casserole, potatoes and veg before we left - he did quite well with this.

Friday night - After putting up the tent etc we were quite late with tea but he did well. He had some emergency ravioli from a tin - not the best food but best I could manage at the time- it was kids no-added-anything stuff so not too bad. He had it with some broccoli (lots of!), and pitta and phily.

Usual breakfast Saturday morning - he had quite a lot and over half a banana.

Saturday lunch was a picnic at Sandringham - JJ had tomatoes, pittas and cheese and some fruit but dudn't really eat that much - was a bit distracted by his Nanna, Grandad and uncle and auntie!

For tea he has some mackerel, courgette, sweet potato mash, apricot and watermelon! Quite a mixture - he loved the mackerel and the watermelon.

Sunday breakfast he ate quite a lot again of the usual. (the al fresco dining and fresh air must be good for him!) He seems to be favouring oatibix over shredded wheat at the minute. He also had some juicy apricot - yum.

For lunch (back at home) he had pancakes (i sandwiched two together with some philly and mashed pear) some pear and tomato and cucumber.

At tea time JJ turned into an eating machine! We almost didn't bother as we had lunch very late due to travelling back but I'm glad we did as he had another pancake, half a pear, a chunk of cheese, a slice of malt loaf, breadsticks, and a rusk! He ate every last thing on his tray -even all the little bits that he had broken off and rejected earlier. He was really chewing and eating well. Such a star!

I noitced this weekend that when he tries something new he puts it straight into his mouth and then often pulls it out to have a good look at it before carrying on eating it.

Anyway - a great weekend all round - he ate loads and enjoyed every last bit, and we all had a great mini-holiday. We plan to do some more camping soon.
