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... 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?

I dislike Mondays. David goes back to work, and I can see all the housework I DIDN'T do over the weekend waiting for me. On the upside, Monday is shopping day, which I usually enjoy! Anyway, I digress..
I finally got a proper meal plan sorted for this week! I've deviated from it already, but a good plan does help. Breakfast was avocado on toast, and banana. Good effort by Ollie, into both the toast and the banana! Seemed to eat a lot in comparison to a couple of weeks ago. It is really hard to guage as it ends up in pieces. Perhaps I should try putting his meal back together like a jigsaw piece! haha.
Lunch was a roaring success too. Piklets with cream cheese, and feijoa. This time I cut the feijoa lengthways and ollie was easily able to pick it up and eat it. He LOVED it! He enjoyed sucking the cream cheese off before munching on the piklet. I really can't get over how much he loved the feijoa. None of his usual noises, just "suck suck suck" as he ate it. And of course, the biscotti was a favourite again! I gave it to him after the piklet and feijoa. Ollie talked to it few minutes before eating though... "I'm going to eat you now... and you are going to taste gooooood.... eeegughhaaaaa ba waaa".
I tend to refill Ollie's plate as the pieces get too small, so he has a good selection of food. So, if he runs out of piklet, I'll give him another. I think this has led to him ignoring the smaller pieces, knowing he'll get another "big" bit. Obviously he needs to practice his fine motor skills, so I'm going to make an effort to leave him with the "small" bits. I know he can manage them, they are just a bit trickier.
Dinner went really well too, despite being a bit late. (Ollie and I got stuck out in traffic). Chicken stirfry. Ollie mainly only ate the chicken as it was first on his tray. But I did see him munching on capsicum, courgette, and broccoli. It was the first time I've seen Ollie eat chicken, he normally ignores it. He loooved it! Lots of munching and definitely swallowing! woohoo!

taggy tag
So I was looking at my tags, aka all the food Ollie has eaten/been offered, and I realised that the few days here and there that I've missed posting have meant a few things left out. So this post is purely to add a few tags :)
On the pineapple... Ollie tried that at a coffee group catch up. While it was too hard for him to chew and swallow, he really enjoyed sucking on it and gumming it. It was just a wedge, and he spent a bit of time chewing on the skin too. I bought a pineapple with the fruit and vege this week so we'll give it another go. I'm sure I read somewhere it is good to leave skin on things like pineapple, as it helps them learn which are the edible bits of food.

We tried porridge today! Was very messy! But also very fun. I took a photo so it might turn up on the main blog. I think Oliver actually ate a fair bit of porridge! Eating with his fingers didn't work so well, he kept shaking his hand like he had poo stuck to it... So, I tried pre-loading a spoon and giving him that. He took off at that point, (with me helping raise the spoon a bit) but still has some way to go before he can handle a spoon prperly himself. I'll try making porridge thicker next time I think.
Lunch was pretty funny! We had tuna patties (with lemon and thyme). The texture and shape of the patties was perfect and Ollie really enjoyed munching on them. The funny part came when he would just open his mouth and let the chewed bit roll of his tongue. It was as if he all of a sudden didn't like it. But, he'd put the pattie back in his mouth, have another bite... and repeat! He thought it was pretty hilarious. We also had banana biscotti (high iron baby version) and Ollie loved it! I can see that is going to be a regular at lunchtime. (David and I think it is pretty yum too!)
Dinner was tofu sticks and steamed vege. Steamed vege was yum, but I wasn't a fan of the tofu! Apparently you can give it to them raw, but it seemed odd, so I lightly dusted in flour and pan fried. I prefer my tofu in curry. Ollie seemed relatively interested in it, but didn't eat a huge amount as it seemed too firm. There must be another way I can cook it.. perhaps oven bake?
