sweetcorn and fish and chips

JJ had Oatibix and cornfalkes with some plum for breakfast again today which went down quite well.

Lunch was another success. JJ had lots of sweetcorn for lunch - he has never really been that fused on it before but he ate bucket loads of it today! He also had cheesy wholemean pitta and some friut.
For tea JJ had fish and chips - baked cod which he quite liked and some chunky home made oven chips, along with broccoli and yogurt and banana for pud. He didn't eat as much as he did for lunch and he is still obsessed with dropping food over the edge of his high chair and smililng when it makes a splat sound. He also like to bite into the end of the chip and then shake the bit that was hanging off until it fell. He would then pick it up and eat it - every time!

Other news - JJ is getting about all over the place and is standing up on everything possible - radiators, sofas, toys and trying to climb the stairs - he is having so much funn. He also like to roll a ball and crawl after it then roll it again etc! He seems more settled and is sleeping a little better.

An exciting new breakfast and lunch

Will post the video soon when I have charged the battery!

A bare cupboard forced the invention of a new breakfast today which luckily was a big success. I made some readybrek with less milk than it states so it was extra thick, I then mashed some banana and mixed it in. It was thick enough for JJ to messily scoop up and eat - he loved it (see the video!). I only made a half quantity as I expected him to reject it like he has done with normal ready brek, and he polished it off so quickly I had to hastily make some more (which he didnt eat in the end even though it was thicker and much better!).

Lunch was another big success! We tried mini pittas filled with grated carrot and grated cheese mixed with a bit of cumin and toasted. He loved them and ate 2 full ones. A good tip is to buy a pack of 10 mini pittas and freeze them indivdually. They defrost really quickly and I used to throw half a pack away as we didn't get through them. This way we always have some to hand! He also had the leftover banana readybrek mixed with some creamy greek yogurt - yumm - he loved it! It would make quite a substantial dessert for those days when he doesn't seem to have had much and is only keen on dessert!

Tea was baked cod, broccoli and pasta and pesto. He enjoyed this and ate a fair amount but not loads due to his huge lunch I think!

He also enjoyed a flying visit from Nanna and Grandad before bed - he sends you both a big sloppy kiss! xxx

fun in the sun!

Well we had another exciting day at the seaside with our friends. JJ wasn't too fussed about breakfast this morning - he had about half a bowl and some nectarine.

Lunch was a little picnic on a bench at some paddling pools. JJ had some french bread and butter, blueberries and nectarine and a biscuit which was thrown on the floor. He seemed to really enjoy eating with other children. He also had a bit of my fish, batter removed, on the sand (oh an a teeny tiny piece of doughnut, shhh don't tell his daddy!)

For tea JJ had some broccoli, cod and potatoes. Fir pud he had some mashed banana mixed with Greek yogurt which he really enjoyed. We have had a lovely couple of days house sitting by the sea and are heading home tomorrow. Other news JJ learnt to wave yesterday - he is very cute doing it. He is sooooo close to crawling now too but has been for a couple of weeks. Today he actually picked up one hand and moved it forward but couldn't figure out how to move the other one! Maybe tomorrow he will get it!
