Mixed bag

On Saturday we had the usual breakfast of shreddies but he was not very interested.
Lunch was ...... can't remember!
For tea we had Fish and Potato pie which went down quite well.

Sunday we had beans, poached egg and toast for lunch which he really enjoyed! He always loves eggs though.
For tea we had chilli which he only ate half of. He is enjoying using his fork now but it is slowing him down a bit and distracting him from eating as he doesn't really have the hang og it yet

Monday lunch was a quesadilla for JJ with cheese, chicken and peas - he ate the while thing but it took him a while as he was very chilled and relaxed!
For tea we had pasta but again he wasn't overly enthusiastic.

nothing new!

JJ had some oaibix for breakfast but not many and wierdly a whole banana - he doesn't often bother with banana but it was obviously what he fancied this morning!

For lunch we had philly, cheese and spinach quesadillas which seemed to go down well. He also had a mini box of rasins whch he tried as a snack for the first time yesterday. He scoops them up by the fist full!

Tea was a bit of a disaster as he had hardly slept yesterday (he is still a bit poorly and we had to go shopping for new clothes for him after he wore the same trousers for 3 days in a row!) and he was over tired. He had a few moutfuls of tuna pasta which he seemed to enjoy but got too tired. He managed a couple of spoons of greek yogurt and squished raspberries before losing the plot. He only managed a tiny bf before falling fast asleep!

Lasagne

JJ has Weetabix for breakfast most days now and he seems to love it. He manages 2!



Lunch was quesadillas with Nanna and Grandad. He loved them - he had ham, cheese and grated carrot, followed by plum for afters.

Tea was lasagne for the firts time and he adored every orange mouthful! He polished of a sizeable chunk along with carrots and green beans. He was covered from head to toe in orange and had to be plonked straight in the bath.

Quesadillas!

JJ had his usual breakfast.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch outside in the sunshine. We had quesadillas (like a taosted tortilla sandwich - wil post the recipe in the recipe section) - JJ had double cheese and spinach and me and dh had pepperoni, cheese and tomato. I wasn't sure JJ would manage them too well but he thought they were great and gobbled lots up. We tried one of my lovingly made smoothie lollies on him again and once again he refuses to hold the tissue and so gets frozen hands which makes him cry - oh well me and DH will have to eat them!

Tea was a bit of a rushed affair as we were out buying new camping gear and trying on back carriers for JJ. He had some fresh beef ravioli and I whizzed up some leftover aubergine from yesterday to make a quick sauce. He sucked them to death but ate very little. He did eat a WHOLE nectarine (I was very excited by this!), some banana (although he seems to enjoy just biting this into chunks), a biscuit and a baby rice cake - which he put in whole but eventully managed to eat it!

Skills update!

JJ now moves bits of food out of his way in order to get what he wants. He sees a piece he wants and will do anything to get at it even if other pieces are nearer/easier. He uses a two handed approach to trickier stuff - grasping it in one hand and supporting it (aka shoving it in) with the other. He swaps food from one hand to the other to get a better grip of it. He put the little bits in his palm back down then pincer grips them to eat them. Such a clever boy! Doesn't seem 5 mins since it was a major just to get food in his mouth.
