Quesadillas!

JJ had his usual breakfast.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch outside in the sunshine. We had quesadillas (like a taosted tortilla sandwich - wil post the recipe in the recipe section) - JJ had double cheese and spinach and me and dh had pepperoni, cheese and tomato. I wasn't sure JJ would manage them too well but he thought they were great and gobbled lots up. We tried one of my lovingly made smoothie lollies on him again and once again he refuses to hold the tissue and so gets frozen hands which makes him cry - oh well me and DH will have to eat them!

Tea was a bit of a rushed affair as we were out buying new camping gear and trying on back carriers for JJ. He had some fresh beef ravioli and I whizzed up some leftover aubergine from yesterday to make a quick sauce. He sucked them to death but ate very little. He did eat a WHOLE nectarine (I was very excited by this!), some banana (although he seems to enjoy just biting this into chunks), a biscuit and a baby rice cake - which he put in whole but eventully managed to eat it!

Skills update!

JJ now moves bits of food out of his way in order to get what he wants. He sees a piece he wants and will do anything to get at it even if other pieces are nearer/easier. He uses a two handed approach to trickier stuff - grasping it in one hand and supporting it (aka shoving it in) with the other. He swaps food from one hand to the other to get a better grip of it. He put the little bits in his palm back down then pincer grips them to eat them. Such a clever boy! Doesn't seem 5 mins since it was a major just to get food in his mouth.
