Breakfast... was too soon after Ollie's milk feed and he just wasn't interested. Didn't even pick anything up. I was surprised, as I didn't think he associated food with hunger yet...
I did try breakfast again after his nap (he went straight to bed after the failed breakfast) but I had a porridge diaster so I gave up and gave him his milk feed a bit early.
Lunch was interesting! We had tuna patties and pear. Ollie didn't seem to love the patties, but did eat some. Then I gave him pear, quartered as usual. He ate nearly a whole pear! I couldn't believe it. He got quite grumpy when only a teeny (pea sized) bit was left of each bit, but was quickly placated when I gave him another bit. Before I knew it, the whole pear was gone. He then had another go at his smooshed tuna patties, picking up quite small pieces and sucking them into his mouth.
I do believe we have turned an eating corner! Now I think I need to make sure there is an easy food with EVERY meal as he will start to rely on calories etc. from his solids. After the seemingly successful lunch at daycare yesterday, I am very optimistic!
Dinner was butter chicken! Ollie loved it, couldn't pick up the rice, but really enjoyed the butter chicken (made from scratch, finished in the crockpot).

Today was Ollie's first day at daycare (*sob*).
Breakfast was porridge, which Ollie ate a bit of, but did have straight after his milk feed.
Lunch was at daycare.. and I forgot what it was, but involved cauliflower and rice. Apparently Ollie did well (and made a mess if his pants are any indicator) and ate about a third of his portion! Which would be some kind of amazing if the portion size was similar to the day I went. Maybe the teacher was including the floor sacrifice in his eaten? I was so happy to see him, I wasn't too worried about food.
Ollie also had afternoon tea for the first time ever! The teacher said he was a bit grizzly so she thought he might be hungry so she gave him a cruskit and something (the proper afternoon tea wasn't ready yet).
Dinner was a bit of a rush.. we had Fish and Chips. Ollie had some fish and some chips, and a banana biscotti! He was so cute, laughing and smiling. At the end of the meal, we skyped Nelson grandma .

Hmmm lazy Easter weekend!
Breakfast.. hot cross buns, porridge, pineapple....
Lunch.. Sunday we had spinach and cheese muffins and feijoas. Yummo. Monday we were at Dad's - Ollie had lamb kofta leftovers, biscotti, and pineapple.
Dinner... Dahl on Sunday night - was a hit. Ollie had his with pita bread. And David cooked it perfectly this time! Ollie didn't get dinner on Monday night. We were at Dad's til late (loong story) so by the time he got home, he just had a good milk feed and then bed!

Breakfast.. hot cross buns! and mini wheats! Lunch... rusks with cream cheese (Farex mixed in) and pineapple.
Can you tell we are having a lazy Easter weekend? Both meals Ollie ate well - sucking the cream cheese of the rusks, and off a spork! Again, loving the pineapple!
Dinner.. lamb kofta cooked by my darling husband (baked not fried) with steamed cauliflower and carrot. Ollie had a great meal, ate lots. More vege than kofta as the meat took a wee while to cool down. At the end of the meal we used the laptop to skype Ollie's grandparents in Nelson so we could show off his eating! He was obviously distracted, but did continue to eat a bit while the laptop was on. It was cool for the grandies to see him munching away!

(Good) Friday 22nd April 2011
Breakfast.. porridge! and pear! Ollie had a good feed, he munched a lot. Into his mouth and pyjamas!
Lunch was AWESOME! Being Good Friday, we were at David's parents. I took Ollie some lunch - fruit, biscotti, and cream cheese. Ollie started off with the pineapple and LOVED it again. He chewed away sucking all the juice out. Then we gave him half a hot cross bun, and he was so cute! He really enjoyed it! We also threw some biscotti into the mix and he had a really good time. Lots of eating, and not really distracted by eating in a noisy room full of people (on the floor on his mat! haha)
I did get a fabric highchair thing, than can go around a chair or person (or a bed for sleeping). I haven't used it yet, I think it will be most useful for cafes and places where we can't sit on the floor.
Dinner was reheated macaroni cheese and steamed vege. Ollie was pretty tired, but he did so well! Well steamed courgette and capsicum are so easy for him to eat, he just sucks/chews the flesh from the skin.

Breakfast... Mango Pear and Biscotti. (Can you tell I was having a lazy morning?)
Lunch at Grandmas... Mango Pear and Biscotti (sound familar)
Dinner .. fish fingers, capsicum broccoli and green beans. Ollie got stuck into everything even the fish! woo! Maybe because he was glad it wasn't the same as breakfast and lunch?

Thursday 21st April
Another great food day today!
Breakfast was porridge which got everywhere, all over Ollie's pyjamas! He loves smooshing it, but eats a lot too. We also had good ol' pear!
Lunch was interesting! I was out for lunch with friends, so took a few items with me for Ollie. we went to a Satay Noodle House! Ollie started with biscotti and then got REALLY stuck into my satay chicken. I found a decent sized piece of chicken and couldn't get it off him! Was awesome, and a great ad for BLW! I also gave him some noodle, mushroom, but it was allll about the chicken. The rice was too separated for him to pick up. Pretty cool though, he was loving it!
Dinner was all wrong because I forgot to put the crockpot on! So we had macaroni cheese. Ollie got stuck in, and he also had some pear!
I'm so proud of my boy!
