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!

Breakfast.. mini wheats and pear! Of course! I'm working on more varied breakfasts!
Lunch was at Nana & Poppa's so we took some french toast and avocado (mixed with baby rice for iron) to have on rusks). Oliver wasn't too distracted (it was just the two of us at the table) but he made quite a mess! Ate lots of avocado and some french toast!
Dinner was pork chops. I was hoping he could hold onto the chop and chew, but the chops I got were the wrong shape for that! Still, he loved the pork, he had a stray bit in his mouth that we was chewing en route to shower. We now have a cheek checkpoint in the shower every night!
We've got proper (but short still) little teeth through now, the two bottom ones. It will be interesting to see how that affects our mealtimes!

Lunch... cream cheese with baby rice, using capsicum, carrot -raw, cucumber, pita pocket as dippers.
Dinner ... cottage pie with steamed kumara and carrot. Didn't get into the cottage pie - a bit difficult I think. If we keep offering eventually he'll be able to pick it up! :) Or use cutlery!
Ollie had a few days where he didn't eat so much.. but we have a tooth coming! It has started to cut, which has made for a very unhappy boy. I need to remind myself it isn't about the volume and is quite normal to have a few off days! I've done a meal plan that loosely includes lunch and breakfast to try and make me more organised so we don't have toast everyday! I've got lots of muffin recipes so we'll see how it goes.
He has definitely come along with his fine motor skills! Not quite managing the pincer grip, but getting there - using two fingers and thumb to pick up smaller bits of food.
