Malt loaf monster!

JJ had a good breakfast again - he seems to have taken to breakfasts now.

For lunch he had some philly on toast with tomatoes and melon. We usually give him chip shapes or small chunks of melon but today gave him a big wedge with the skin off. He loved it this way and slowly ate the lot and then had some more.

Tea was rather funny - we were having aubergine casserole with couscous and so we gave JJ the same. He found the cous cous very interesting and a little frustrating so I had a brainwave of mixing it with some philly to make it a bit more clumpy and sticky which helped (however DH decided he like his this way too!). He quite enjoyed the casserole and was gobbling up chunks of aubergine, pepper and mushroom. He did find it difficult to shovel it in like he does pasta though. He made such a mess - and going for the 'messiest dinner in blw history' record we decided to top it off with some yogurt - well received as usual.
He still seemed hungry so he had a slice of malt loaf - and just like Eric and bananaman (for those children of the 80's among you) when JJ ate the malt loaf he turned into a growling malt loaf monster (see the very cute video) - a sign, I think, that he liked it.



He was so incredibly messy he was plonked straight into the bath with his dad!

He is eating sooo well at the moment - it is lovely and for those of you out there doing blw and worrying if your LO is having enough - they do get there I promise! It can seem hard at first when they seem to eat so little but stick with it. (the question is will I remember this pearl of wisdom next time he goes off his food a bit...probably not!)
