Mixed bag

On Saturday we had the usual breakfast of shreddies but he was not very interested.
Lunch was ...... can't remember!
For tea we had Fish and Potato pie which went down quite well.

Sunday we had beans, poached egg and toast for lunch which he really enjoyed! He always loves eggs though.
For tea we had chilli which he only ate half of. He is enjoying using his fork now but it is slowing him down a bit and distracting him from eating as he doesn't really have the hang og it yet

Monday lunch was a quesadilla for JJ with cheese, chicken and peas - he ate the while thing but it took him a while as he was very chilled and relaxed!
For tea we had pasta but again he wasn't overly enthusiastic.

Stew and lumps!

JJ had shreddies for breakfast and pinched some of my toast as usual.

Lunch was 1 slice of philly on toast (since he missed it on Wednesday!!) 3 veggie nuggets, cherry tomatoes, a banana....might have been more - not sure!

I made a stew for tea with mash and dumplings (or lumps as my brother called them when he was little).... (having a lot of mash at the minute...think it must be the cold weather!). He seemed to quite like it but didn't seem overly hungry but ate a bit and had a kiwi.

bubble and squeak

I was really poorly today so I didn't have too much enthusiasm for food! JJ had the usual breakfast, for lunch he had some veggie nuggets which I did manage to make between naps while his daddy looked after him. He really enjoyed them! He had some other stuff too but not sure what!
For tea he had bubble and squeak (made with leftover broccoli and mash - such a good leftover meal), some roast chicken and baby corn which he really seems to like to nibble at withhis new teeth. I think he had a yogurt for pud.

Large lunch and using his fork!


Yummy, JJ loves Shreddies!

What a poser!! He did this as soon as he saw the camera!

JJ had his new breakfast favourite shreddies again - he just loves em! He also had a little bit of my toast.




He had a long, leisurely and large lunch! I made some cheesy pancakes and he ate them all (6 in total!), along with a banana, some dried apricots and a tomato.

For tea JJ had chicken, mash and veggies and 2 kiwis for pudding. He also used his fork on his own properly which we caught on video. He seems to find the fork much easier than a spoon.

Other News:
JJ stood up and stayed up for a few seconds unsupported today which he hasn't done spontaneously before! He can also do the action to the song 'Wind the Bobbin up' Which is just the cutest thing!
He has also started to sleep for longer at nap times in the past week - an hour or so !!! Unheard of till now but I hoped I haven't jinxed it!

Looking back

I have just been looking back over my old blog posts as talking about the early days with my friend today made me realise how much I had forgotten. It is amazing to see the change in JJ and his eating. He was so small and cute - but I guess I am biased! I had forgotten so much. I used to be very good at posting every day and with lots more detail and humour! I guess there was so much more to tell back then. Hopefully it is useful for new BLWers to go back to the earlier posts, and it is lovely for me to take a trip down memory lane.

I'm sooo lazy

It has been ages since I posted - sorry! Been trying to do things other than be on the computer!

In the last week JJ has been eating well. He has had nothing new really. He did however refuse a tuna pizza I made him - he normally loves the pizzas I make but flatly refused and I am sure it was the tuna he didn't like as he has been a bit put off by it before. Never mind!

We went out for Sunday lunch yesterday and he was sooooo good. It is always so lovely to sit and eat our meal with him next to us eating his.
Today he had his new favourite - Shreddies for breakfast - lots of them!

Lunch was eaten at a friends house (Kiri had her first BLW experiece of broccoli and pear while we were there - she did soooo well!! It was wierd thinking back to the start when I was so excited when he so much as got something into his mouth - he really has come such a long way!)

Tea today was pasta with a cheese, leek, mushroom and bacon sauce I made, french bread, a yogurt and a plum. Yummy!

JJ's two front teeth are through now and he looks very cute with them. He has also learnt to nod and shake his head in the last week (which is really cute!).

Chilli, fritata, sausages...but not all at once!




On Thursday JJ had sardines on toast for his dinner but he didn't really eat very much.

For tea I made a chilli - he has never had it before but seemed to enjoy it.


On Friday JJ had a toasted cheese & carrot pitta falvoured with cumin and coriander. He quite enjoyed this and also had some fruit. For tea we had a yummy fritata with mushrooms, peppers, potatoes, onion and cheese with salad and potato wedges. He loves eggs so gobbled it down and thoroughly enjoyed it. He had some melon and a yogurt for pud.


Today JJ had a slice of cold fritata and some toast for lunch but didn't eat a great deal (perhaps the rice cakes dady gave him before lunch had something to do with it!). For tea tonight we had pork and apple sausages, mash peas broccoli and cauliflower with a pear to follow. He loved it - mash always goes down well and the peas were very popular. He learnt today to hold a quarter f pear in one hand and tear pieces off to eat with the other.

Mushroom risotto

JJ had a lie in this morning until 7.30 this morning which is a minor miracle!! I work on Wednesdays so I missed his breakfast but I am told it was the usual.

Lunch was french bread, chicken (lots of), blueberries, and other yummies.

I made a mushroom risotto for tea and JJ loved it. He ate a big bowl full with some bread and had another Frube and some fruit for pudding.

I forgot to mention that he has also had a big top tooth and another bottom tooth come through in the last week.

Tagine



JJ trying to share his breakfast with the boy in the mirror

JJ and his daddy!

Monday JJ had oatibix for breakfast and a few grapes.

He had Homemade veggie soup for lunch - I took out the veggies and he had them in his bowl but I kept the liquid seperate and dunked his bread in it for him - he's good with his bowl now but not ready for soup! He seemed to enjoy it. He also had some fruit and a chunk of cheese.

For tea we had lamb tagine and cous cous. He loves this meal and ate quite a bit. I also made a rice pudding and he ate this too along woth grapes (yep he has a bit of a thing for them at the min!)



Today JJ had a mixture of weetabix and oatibix for breakfast.



For lunch he had philly on toast, a banana and a frube! Never had one before - he refused to hold it prefering instead to open his mouth at me and make a noise like a baby bird so I would squeeze it in!



Tea was roast chicken, jacket potatoes, salad, french bread, more rice puding and a fair few blueberries. Yum!

Sunday 4 November 2007




Well, due to sheer laziness, being busy, working extra I have been very poor on the blogging front! My wrists are slapped and I will try harder!

On the food front JJ has been eating well. He has had pasta, sausage and mash, fish pie, blueberry mouse, bluberries mixed with yogurts and lots of grapes! Nothing ground breaking but all enjoyed!

I am very proud of JJ's eating as a few of his friends are going through fussy stages, refusing spoons etc. It is lovely watching him thoroughly enjoy his food and getting messy! Although I am under no illusions that he will be off his food again soon and I shall be cursing his eating! Such is life!

Today JJ had 2 weetabix for breakfast, cheese omlette and sweetpotato for lunch (we went to get a Sunday dinner but everywhere was ful and JJ was in no mood for waiting!) and some philly on toast, cherry tomatoes and yogurt for tea. He also had a fair few snacks during our shopping trip!

Hope you all have a great and safe bonfire night!
