soup

JJ had breakfast with his dad today who says he had a whole bowlful of oatabix, some blueberries and a suck of a strawberry.

Lunch was some nice homemade veggie soup - we cut the crust off a wholemeal loaf and cut it into fingers which we dunked in the soup for JJ who loved sucking it off. He also had some veg which I picked out before I whizzed the soup up - broccoli, chard and some carrot I think. He didn't have a very big lunch though - again!

For tea JJ enjoyed some 'chicken in a bag' a la Jamie Oliver (see recipes) and 2 jacket potatoes with cheese. He also had a plum and half a pear. Yum Yum!

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!

Sorry it's late! exciting discovery....

Can't remember Tuesday now so it can't have been very exciting food wise - I didn't post as I was out (OMG!) watching Hairspray - total chick flic and was brilliant.

Anyway yesterday (no excuses I'm afraid was just totally shattered and couldn't be bothered to turn on the computer!), was usual breakfast. For lunch we went for a picnic in the country park near us as the weather was so glorious. JJ had some cheese straws which went down very well, some cheese and a selection of fruit (and a sneaky bit of mummy's ice cream). Not much got eaten as there were far too many interesting people to watch but he enjoyed it! Tea was baby jacket potatoes with cheese, peas and fish cakes. He didn't really eat much but we found his first tooth which could explain why - very exciting!

I couldn't find the camera so no photos I'm afraid.
