Appetite back!

JJ had pasta for lunch on friday but barely ate any Grrrrrr! He seemed to cry when food touched his top gums so I think it might be the teeth finally coming through. He had some sweet potato and veggies for tea and he did have a little bit more.

I was ill Friday night and all day Sturday so I don't really know what JJ ate but he did apparantly eat a bit more which was great. I however ate nothing!!

Today has been a much better day. He had a bigger breakfast of oatibix, toast and grapes.
His nanna and grandad were over for the day and we went out for a lovely Sunday lunch. He was so good and ate lots of everything - he especially liked the purple cabbage, turkey and yorkshire puds. He ate for ages though and we all got a bit bored of waiting!

For tea he had liver and apple casserole with cous cous. He quite enjoyed it and even managed to have it in a bowl on his tray and didn't throw it off!! Normally if we put a bowl near him it gets thrown on the floor. He also played about with his spoons. He had yogurt and banana for pud and a few of this week's favourites...grapes.

It is lovely to have him back on track with his eating and his nose has finally stopped running!!!

Lamb tagine

Yesterday JJ had very little for breakfast - just kept casually flinging things over the edge of the high chair.

For lunch he had the usual Wednesday philly on toast, avocado, watermelon, plum and yogurt.

For tea we had baked tuna risotto which JJ loved and ate absolutely loads!

Today JJ had oatibix and branflakes for his breakfast and quite a bit of banana.

Lunch was tuna on french bread, cucumber, tomato and plum.

For tea we had lamb tagine with cous cous. JJ seemed to like this a lot but couldn't shovel it in as quickly as he can some other foods so found it a little frustrating. He has started doing this really funny thing when he is getting frustrated or fed up where he clenches his fists in the air and tenses but pulls a really comedy face. He has realised it makes us laugh and keeps doing it but it still has us in stitches every time! He managed a bit of yogurt for pud but not much before he was taken to be hosed down!

Cous cous 'sausages'

I thought I would try something different today for breakfast so we had wheatabix (not ground breaking I know!). They don't do mini plain wheatabix so I broke a big one up into a few bits and dunked it like I do with the oatibix. He seemed to really enjoy it and ate the lot as well as about 8 exta oatibix bitesize. All in all a good breakfast.

Lunch was a bit of a non starter. I was very proud of my new lunch inventions - cous cous 'sausages' - but he wasn't in a lunch mood - nothing would tempt him today - not the cous cous, not strawberries, not yogurt. So we called it a day. The cous cous was great though - I cooked the cous cous and mixed some with mashed sardines and cream cheese and formed it into sausage shapes, the rest I mixed with hummus and did the same. They worked really well and make a nice quick lunch and a change from bread and the usual. I will put the proper recipe on the recipe blog.

Tea was cottage pie, broccoli, cabbage, carrots ( and another cous cous sausage). JJ loved it but was not really in an eating mood again but he did better than lunch. Hopefully he will be back on track tomorrow - I guess too much breakfast spoiled him!
