Mushroom pasta

JJ had weetabix and a crumpet for breakfast (couldn't give him 2 weetabix as we ran out of milk!).

For lunch he had a cheesy pitta - but it was possbly the longest lunch ever - took him a whole hour to eat one pitta and a banana.

For tea he wolfed down a bowl of mushroom pasta and had a yogurt for pud. He seemed to really enjoy his food today.

JJ had his usual breakfast today of oatibix and fruit.





For lunch he had a wholemeal cheey pitta bread with some fruit for pudding - nectarine I think!





Tea was a bit of an experiment. I made a butternut squash curry (very mild) and he quite enjoyed it. We had it with jacket potatoes as we weren't in the mod for rice. He also did quite well with his fork - I was stabbing bits for him and he was eating them off the fork (rather than pulling them off like he did last time!). The forks we use are ikes plastic ones - 18 knives, forks and spoons for about £1 - fab! He also was offered mashed banana and yogurt but didn't want any.





Other news: JJ is able to put shapes into his shape sorter now - well he can't et them in the right holes but he just sort of drops them onto the holes and they go in. He also went to a soft play centre and had a brilliant time, crawling and climbing around.

sweetcorn and fish and chips

JJ had Oatibix and cornfalkes with some plum for breakfast again today which went down quite well.

Lunch was another success. JJ had lots of sweetcorn for lunch - he has never really been that fused on it before but he ate bucket loads of it today! He also had cheesy wholemean pitta and some friut.
For tea JJ had fish and chips - baked cod which he quite liked and some chunky home made oven chips, along with broccoli and yogurt and banana for pud. He didn't eat as much as he did for lunch and he is still obsessed with dropping food over the edge of his high chair and smililng when it makes a splat sound. He also like to bite into the end of the chip and then shake the bit that was hanging off until it fell. He would then pick it up and eat it - every time!

Other news - JJ is getting about all over the place and is standing up on everything possible - radiators, sofas, toys and trying to climb the stairs - he is having so much funn. He also like to roll a ball and crawl after it then roll it again etc! He seems more settled and is sleeping a little better.

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

An exciting new breakfast and lunch

Will post the video soon when I have charged the battery!

A bare cupboard forced the invention of a new breakfast today which luckily was a big success. I made some readybrek with less milk than it states so it was extra thick, I then mashed some banana and mixed it in. It was thick enough for JJ to messily scoop up and eat - he loved it (see the video!). I only made a half quantity as I expected him to reject it like he has done with normal ready brek, and he polished it off so quickly I had to hastily make some more (which he didnt eat in the end even though it was thicker and much better!).

Lunch was another big success! We tried mini pittas filled with grated carrot and grated cheese mixed with a bit of cumin and toasted. He loved them and ate 2 full ones. A good tip is to buy a pack of 10 mini pittas and freeze them indivdually. They defrost really quickly and I used to throw half a pack away as we didn't get through them. This way we always have some to hand! He also had the leftover banana readybrek mixed with some creamy greek yogurt - yumm - he loved it! It would make quite a substantial dessert for those days when he doesn't seem to have had much and is only keen on dessert!

Tea was baked cod, broccoli and pasta and pesto. He enjoyed this and ate a fair amount but not loads due to his huge lunch I think!

He also enjoyed a flying visit from Nanna and Grandad before bed - he sends you both a big sloppy kiss! xxx
