Today was carrot day in the form of regular carrot and Organix carrot sticks. Both went down a storm and JJ was orange from head to toe! The Organix sticks (no...not giant wotsits!) were a huge hit - he loved them! He quite enjoyed the real carrots too but they were a bit harder to pick up. He had a bit of a gag today but I stayed calm, he coughed a bit, eyes watered (I could see it at the back of his mouth) I got ready to intervene but I think he swallowed it (it didn't get spat out anyway!) and then he laughed....though it was bloody hilarious! I was impressed with how we both dealt with it really. I have been told and read that the whole gagging thing happens whenever babies eat lumps whether it has been preceded by purees or not so its not just a BLW issue but I hope it doesn't happen too often.
JJ also mastered his new cup today (after about 5 mins of flinging it round his head, sticking it in his eye and generally throwing water everywhere!).
I had such a great time with him today, this BLW lark is so much fun (when Jacob is in the mood!!). He was so cute and he loved every minute. (note to self: must remember to read this when he throws one of my lovely organic creations around the kitchen in disgust...sure to happen soon!)
