bubble and squeak

I was really poorly today so I didn't have too much enthusiasm for food! JJ had the usual breakfast, for lunch he had some veggie nuggets which I did manage to make between naps while his daddy looked after him. He really enjoyed them! He had some other stuff too but not sure what!
For tea he had bubble and squeak (made with leftover broccoli and mash - such a good leftover meal), some roast chicken and baby corn which he really seems to like to nibble at withhis new teeth. I think he had a yogurt for pud.

Ups and downs!

Not a happy chappy


Yummy apples


Breakfast was a non starter today. DH gave JJ some shredded wheat but he just ate one, squished 2 and then stopped.

After a morning out with his daddy JJ wolfed down 3 of the veggie nuggets from the other day which I had defrosted and would have eaten more had I had them ready! He also had an Organix rusk but this generally went on the floor and not in his mouth! He seemed to really enjoy his lunch.

For tea I did him giant pasta shells and a sauce with tomato, carrot, peas onion and garlic. He got cross straight away as he found it too slippy. He had such a strop that I had to take him out of his chair and cuddle him. He munched a breadstick on my lap and I put him back in and he was much happier. I spread some of the sauce on some bread and he ate some of that. I also baked some slices of apple with some Cinnamon. He threw 3 on the floor, then loved the last 3 and would have eaten more but there wasn't any (I ate 2 thinking he wouldn't eat them!!) Ah well 2 lessons learnt.....don't give him giant pasta and make more cinnamon apples!

Exciting new dishes!!

Yesterday we ate out at lunch and JJ had some food from home (usual packed lunch of breadsticks, cheese, date, fruit) - he was very good and didn't throw too much on the floor. It has been a real battle to get milk into him for a couple of days but he seemed better today.

Today JJ had his usual oatibix and shredded wheat for brekkie. I noticed that he has got really good at picking back up the halves that stay in his palm till he drops them on the tray. He ate much more than he dropped today which was great.

Lunch was very exciting! I made some lovely broccoli and cheese nuggets from a recipe from Aitch's blog (www.babyledweaning.com) and they were sooo yummy I could have eaten a lot. But me and JJ's granny had a couple, JJ had 3 and we froze the rest. I even took a photo! JJ loved them. He was chewing like such a big boy so I took a video which I will try to link.

For tea JJ had some philedelphia whizzed up with some smoked mackrel spread on wholemeal pitta bread - again he loved it.

All in all a very successful food day!
