Daddy in charge

Yesterday JJ's daddy was in charge as I was at a wedding. JJ had his usual breakfast. For lunch he had philly on toast with some berry sauce (raspberries, blackberries and blueberries) - which was a big hit. He also had some melon and nectarine.

For dinner daddy cooked gnocchi with cheese sauce but had underestimated how long it can take to make dinner with a grumpy JJ to deal with alone and so it was very late and not very well received (plus I was out and JJ refused any milk that wasn't from me and so was probably over-hungry). I had to come home to feed JJ (BF) before the profiteroles were served!!!!

Pancakes and turkey sausages

Same stuff for breakfast again with the addition of dried figs - JJ liked these a lot but sneezed it out after sucking on it for ages!



I got adventurous with panckaes for lunch (got the idea from this cool blog www.myblwexperiences.blogspot.com) and did spinach and ricotta pancakes and berry and creme fraiche pancakes - JJ gobbled them up so quickly it was great to watch! He really enjoyed them but made much less mess than usual - guess he didn't play with it as much as he was enjoying eating it! I enjoyed them too!





For tea I made some turkey and apple mini sausages (got the idea from Aitch's blog) and he had them with avocado and necarine. He seemed to enjoy them but tea was a bit late and he was tired so prefered to rub them in his eyes.





I will try to set up a recipes section and post my versions of the recipes there.

New foods galore!

No it's not bogies - it's avocado!

JJ's tea




Tommy two spoons!



Same old same old for breakie - shredded wheat and oatibix.



Lunch was avocado (he has never had this before but seemed to quite like it), philly on toast and some blackberries and blueberries. He seemed to like the blackberries but seemed to enjoy the feel of them and dropping on the floor better! The blueberries were a little bit sour but he had a couple - he found them easier to chew if I squished them a bit first.

I was very excited about tea - fish patties - yum. I whizzed a slice of bread into breadcrumbs, them whizzed some parsley and some cod, mixed it all together with an egg white and made little patties. I fried them till they were golden each side and then put them in the oven for 10 mins. I could have eaten all of them but only had my one to check they were edible.


JJ started well and kept stuffing it in - but once again with a hugely full mouth he just cried. I think he doesn't like having so much in his mouth. Anyway after some banana yogurt he kept going back for some more so I think he must have liked them. He also had some more blueberries. He ate the whole pot of yogurt which he has never done before - and there was less on his face etc than usual. I think I will have to ration his food at the start of a meal so he doesn't attempt to put it all in at once and see if this helps.



Meals are taking sooo long - by the time I have prepared, cooked, fed, cleaned it is at least an hour often a lot more. Good job I enjoy cooking and feeding (just not the cleaning bit!)
