Squash, beans and rice

JJ ate very little breakfast today but did get quite hungry later in the day, according to daddy who was in charge, so had some pear and malt loaf in the morning . He had lots of lunch - mackerel pate on toast, turkey meatballs and banana yogurt.

For tea he had some rice cakes to keep him patient! rice cakes (he likes rice cakes now but was not too fussed before) and spiced butternut squash and bean casserole - he just loved the kidney beans! He also had rice which he hasn't really had before but managed it well. He had a little treat of some custard for pud. He does seem to like having some pudding then going back to his savory and back to pudding again - odd - but if he gets fussy during a meal a few spoons of sweet and he will carry on.

Butternut squash

Jacob missed his lunch yesterday as he was fast asleep at lunch time and we were busy in the afternoon. He didn't seem to notice and he doesn't really eat anything anyway so he isn't 'hungry' for dinner as such. Also he has not had much movement down below recently! Nothing for almost a week (well a teeny, tiny bit today) so we thought a day off for his tummy may help. He doesn't seem bothered by it at all so I guess we will just wait and see!

Today he had some roasted butternut squash. He seemed to enjoy it and was very good at picking up the smaller bits and putting them in his mouth. He seemed to roll the bits around in his mouth for longer and kind of chew them whereas in the past he has been so excited he just stuffed things in again and again! He didn't have very much or 'eat' for very long but he enjoyed it. Today was the first time really that he lost interest and just sat and watched us eat - so he definitely knows when he has had enough.
