Snacks in the park


Yeay! Salmon for tea

JJ has been eating fairly well over the past couple of weeks. Fish is a big favourite at the moment with salmon being top of the list! He has also taken a liking to Organix gingerbread men (although we try to keep his sweet snacks to a minimum but he knows where they are kept and he knows what he wants!).





I have added a very cute video of JJ eating his tea. It shows quite well where he is up to with his fork too. He isn't normally so excitable at meal times but it was salmon for tea which I think sent him into a frenzy! In fact he ate his fillet of slamon in about 30 seconds and then kept shouting more and pointing at this daddy's so ended up having another half!





JJ has been a bit more challenging behaviour wise recently. He has become very clingy to me at home which is driving everybody mad. He is fine if I am not there but the second he sees me he starts whinging and wanting to be picked up. I have read this is a common stage and that it passes but I really hope it passes soon. To add to this we are doing some major work to the house - re-arranging the whole ground floor and this just adds to the chaos! Because the kitchen will be out of action for a while, me and JJ are heading to my Mum's for a few days while his daddy works on it.

Salmon Fishcakes

JJ had his usual breakfast and for lunch he had home made pizza (well I bought the base but I had intended to make it!). I put tomato puree, grated carrot, skmoked mackerel and cheese on top. He loved it and worked his way through 5 slices. He also Had fruit I think.

For tea he had slamon fishcakes, a little bit of mash and vegies. He thoroughly enjoyed mushing the whole lot into a pile a mush - nice.

Mash-tastic

JJ had another good breakfast today of oatibix and nectarine. Glad he is back on form!

Lunch was smoked mackerel blended with cream cheese and a touch of greek yogurt spread on toasted french bread - he loves this meal. He also had a handful of my homegrown tomatoes and a whole cinnamon apple - we both love cinnamon apple so much and it only takes a minute to cook!

For tea JJ had salmon, mashed potato and veg. He gobbled it up so quickly you would have thought he hadn't been fed in a week! He also had yogurt for pudding.

Salmon

JJ had a weetabix for breakfast (realised at breakfast today I had been spelling weetabix wrong!) and a couple of oatibix.

For lunch he had just over a slice of philly on toast but got cross before any fruit.

He had some juicy watermelon in the afternoon with his friends who came over to play - he managed to drip it all over me!

For tea JJ had some cheesy mash, salmon, green beans and carrots. He was very tired again though and got too sleepy to eat any fruit again! Will make up for it tomorrow I am sure!

3 good meals

JJ had the usual for breakfast but today preferred the good old shredded wheat over the oatibix. He has mastered the technique of noisily sucking out all the milk before gobbling them up.

Lunch was leftover pasta bolognese from yesterday which was munched up with the same enthusiasm and left him looking like an oompa loompa (but without the green hair!). He followed this with various fruits.

For tea JJ tried something new - salmon - which he had with the ever popular broccoli and a cheesy jacket potato. He gobbled the lot much to the disappointment of his dad who wanted more! He ate some salmon but was not overly impressed - he much preferred the broccoli and potato. He followed this with some delicious honeydew melon. He has only bf twice today (plus a 30 second drink) so he must be filling his tum with food.

Other News:

JJ is very close to crawling - here he is today showing of his 'all fours' technique - rocking backwards and forwards no less! He is sooo cute!

The look of concentration!
