Christmas capers!


Birthday cake



Christmas Dinner




A scarily green Christmas tree meringue at a party!


Wow, it's been a while since I posted! I blame the massively chaotic festive season with a string of parties, family gatherings and other such jolly festivities!

We have had a lovely Christmas time and Jacob has had a ball!


It was also his first birthday which was great - he had a blueberry sponge cake as blueberries must be his all time favourite food. He loved it, although he much preferred the berries to the cake, and spilled crumbs all over his granny!

We had a couple of baby group Christmas parties and he ate well at both - a lot of treats he wouldn't normally have but he did do well with sandwiches and fruit at them too. He thoroughly enjoyed his Christmas dinner, with turkey hot or cold being a firm favourite at the minute..luckily!

Other food he has had worth noting is Thai red curry - went down well surprisingly! He is loving clementines, pate, anything wrapped in pastry, risotto, meat (especially turkey!), jelly (occasionally at parties), malt loaf too. He has started eating toast by sucking, licking, nibbling off whatever is spread on it before (sometimes) eating the toast itself. He is much less messy and is getting very good at spooning his own yogurt and using his fork (unless he is really hungry or it is something he loves and then the fork is to slow and hit and miss so it is back to shovelling fist fulls in!).

I am not sure if Jacob is officially weaned now or not - he eats exactly what we eat 95% of the time so perhaps he is!? I will still keep blogging for a while longer until he has mastered cutlery but there is much less to report nowadays now that he has tried almost every food out there and seems to always like most things. So to avoid boring you all I will do fortnightly or so posts unless something exciting happens.

Wishing you all a happy new year!!!

Mash and mackerel


JJ's daddy did breakfast this morning and he said JJ wasn't too interested in his cereal - he did however eat some toast and a whole pear!

For lunch he had some smoked mackerel and cream cheese pate on some little slices of toasted baguette (he was smelly all afternoon but loved it!), some nectarine and yogurt.

For tea he ate cheesy mash, veggies and turkey and apple sausages, followed by the rest of his yogurt from lunch and a biscotti. - Yum!

JJ just doesn't stop wriggling at the minute - he is non-stop - guess that's why he's eating well as he needs the energy. Come to think of it so do I!

Pancakes and turkey sausages







Same stuff for breakfast again with the addition of dried figs - JJ liked these a lot but sneezed it out after sucking on it for ages!



I got adventurous with panckaes for lunch (got the idea from this cool blog www.myblwexperiences.blogspot.com) and did spinach and ricotta pancakes and berry and creme fraiche pancakes - JJ gobbled them up so quickly it was great to watch! He really enjoyed them but made much less mess than usual - guess he didn't play with it as much as he was enjoying eating it! I enjoyed them too!





For tea I made some turkey and apple mini sausages (got the idea from Aitch's blog) and he had them with avocado and necarine. He seemed to enjoy them but tea was a bit late and he was tired so prefered to rub them in his eyes.





I will try to set up a recipes section and post my versions of the recipes there.
