Scrambled eggs and food flinging


Weetabix


Sweet potato and bean burgers - recipe on the blog!


Sunday was the usual breakfast but JJ didn't eat any of it - he just wanted to throw it all on the floor. We have never really had this problem with JJ before and I thought we had avoided it but he found it hilarous today!

Lunch was scrambled egg and french bread toast (I find he much prefers toasted french bread to normal bread and will eat much more). He quite liked it but ended up throwing it about again. He had some pear for pud.

Tea was veggies and my made up sweet potato and kidney bean burgers (recipe on the blog - see links). Once again most of it went on the floor - he didn't really have an appetite but enjoyed what he did eat. He also discovered the cup holder on his tray - it has always been there but he hasn't noticed it before - he enjoyed putting his toast and pear in there and taking it out again to eat!

Saturday was race day for JJ's daddy and after his usual breakfast of weetabix we headded off to Rutland Water to cheer him over the finish line (he completed the race in a fantastic 5 hours, 6 mins and 8 seconds for those whi are interested!)


Lunch was eaten at Rutland Water and was french bread and butter, pear, humzinger and Organix gingerbread man (and he stle some of his daddy's malt loaf!). He mainly just sucked it and ate very little thanks to all the interesting things to look at.


For tea I made a beef and red wine casserole with mash, veg and rice pudding for afters Yum!

More Pasta!

Silly photos as I haven't taken many food ones lately!

So cute!

JJ had 1 and a half weetabix for breakfast but didn't seem that hungry (could have been something to do with a huge bf in the middle of the night - grrrr).

Lunch was a cheese pitta, home grown cherry tomato and cucumber and some yogurt and banana. It was a bit rushed really as we were due to meet our friends.

For tea we all had pasta - again! This is becaues JJ's daddy is in a very big race tomorrow (the Vitruvian half Iron Man: 1900m swim, 84km bike and 21km run) and is carbo-loading so we were too! We had pasta in a creamy tuna sauce yum - he loved the mushrooms today.

In general he hasn't seemed very hungry today but ate a reasonable amount.

Will let you know how JJ's daddy gets on tomorrow (if I'm not too tired from him gettingup at 4:30 to start his race at 6.30!!!) Good luck Johnny!!!xxx

Pasta

JJ had 2 weetabix, a plum and some nectarine for breakfast.

Lunch was a couple of cheese and apple scones which I defrosted, a pear and half a nectarine. IO must get baking as my freezer stash is about gone!

For tea we had pasta - chicken and bacon (although he didn't have the bacon). He just loves pasta - he has a big adult sized bowl but only eats about half. He shoves it in so quickly but a lot come back out when he has sucked off the sauce. He also had rice pudding.

Daddy day



Wednesday is work day for me so daddy is in charge. JJ aparantly had a great breakfast.


Lunch after swimming was philly on toast, a plum and some yogurt and banana. JJ was quite hungry and gobbled it all up.


We had Spanish Chicken (chicken, chorizo, peppers and mushrooms in a tomato sauce) and Jacket potatoes for tea. JJ actually ate quite a bit of the chicken - in the past he has mostly just sucked it but he was definitely eating it tonight. He loved the potato as usual. He had watermelon for pudding which was very juicy and messy.


It was lovely coming in today as JJ was soooo excited to see me, he practically jumped into my arms and was giggling and kissing me. I can definitely handle working a day a week if I get a reception like that!

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.

Fishcakes



Sleeping round the zoo


A biscuit on the tube


Lunch at Granny's


Sorry for the lack of updates, we have had some computer probs which are hopefully sorted now! I will try to remember what's been going on...
I think on Friday JJ had spinach and ricotta pancakes again which he quite enjoyed. For tea I made fishcakes with the leftover cod. JJ loved them and ate 3 big ones with lots of veg!

Saturday was a busy day as we went to London to meet some friends and we had lunch at London zoo but he fed most of it to the pigeons! He had jacket potatoes, veg and some omlette for tea and some rice pudding which I defrosted (it seemed to freeze well).

We have been at JJ's Nanna and Grandad's house since Sunday and went for a family party where JJ had bits and bobs from the buffet. He had fish fingers with the crumbs removed, veggies and potatoes for tea with yogurt for pudding.

Today JJ had usual breakfast, some toast, cheese and pear for lunch at his Granny's house and then pasta bolognese for tea - he ate about half a bowl and sucked the sauce and cheese of the other half! He also had some melon.
