We did intend to start breakfast today with Ollie, but that extra 15mins in bed, listening to Ollie chatter to himeself meant it didn't quite happen. Was worth it though! And we went swimming, which was awesome!
The pesky bottom tooth is still working its way through, it doesn't appear to be of any use yet, but is causing our wee boy lots of pain!
Lunch - Blackcurrant mini wheats with a splash of rice milk, carrot muffin, and banana. Was really surprised how well he dealt with the mini wheats! And he hadn't had a carrot muffin for a while (they tend to be messy) and he handled the small pieces really well - and chewed much better than he used to! Impressed. Banana.. well he was a bit over it by that point, but it was fun to throw around!
Dinner... supposed to be meatloaf.. but our timing was out! Saves cooking tomorrow night I guess! So, we ended up with pasta, broccoli, capscium, and carrot. Ollie was on form, depsite being really tired. Had a good go at everything. He bites off chunks of everything, and mulls them around his mouth for a while. Some go down, but most go out!
Stop reading now if you don't want to read about poop. Today's nappy showed that we are definitely eating and "processing"more we are getting changes... and of course still lumps of non-processed food. No longer just breastmilk poop that is for sure!

Lunch... banana, carrot muffin in town... Ollie was a bit distracted - given we were sitting on Lambton Quay - but he had a really good go at the muffin! ( I had sushi....)
Dinner... Stirfry! Ollie ate more courgette than he has ever! And did find the meat eventually. He has taken to eating his broccoli stalk end first... (then I realised that is how I eat it....) And of course carrot is always a winner. I don't think Ollie ate too much tonight, because he was having too much fun playing with... noodles! David and I often have noodles in our stirfry so tonight we gave Ollie some. He had a ball! (and a few noodles made their way into his mouth - miraculously!) He spent a lot of time holding a handful of long noodles up and swinging them. Rather messy, but oh so fun!

We had lunch today at a cafe, so quite distracting for Ollie. Carrot muffin and half banana. Didn't eat much but showed off his banana holding skills... and his throw-carrot-muffin everywhere skills!
Dinner was macaroni cheese! Ollie had some, but also some plain pasta so he didn't have too much cheese. He loved it! Took huge mouthfuls of pasta even!

Great food day today!! Another beautiful day in Wellington - I'm not looking forward to winter! We had lunch again in the park today with a different coffee group. Ollie had banana and baby corn, and ate a wee bit - had quite a good meal considering there were four other babies and mummies there.
Dinner was a bit random, we thought we were having dinner with a friend but sadly that fell through so we just threw something together. Pasta, steamed kumara, broccoli, capscium, and a carrot muffin! I made the muffins today (sugar free of course) from the Baby Led Weaning cookbook. I definitely recommend the cookbook - great for getting baby led ideas! I think tonight was our most successful dinner yet! Ollie had a really good go at everything! He loved it all! He took a HUGE bite of his muffin and definitely chowed down some kumara. And the pasta was a total hit. I used a mix of small and large spiral pasta (cold) so it kind of clumped together. He had no trouble picking up handfuls! His finger skills have come so far!
We also had an interesting nappy today.... *warning poop conversation follows*
We are definitely consuming food now... today's nappy confirmed Ollie can eat quite a lot! It had been a couple of days since his last nappy and I was dreading it! There was a lot of it - all kinds of chunks, plus some obviously digested food! I think the banana may have blocked him up a bit, but he didn't seem to have too much trouble! I saw definite bit of meat, baby corn, and banana! Go Ollie!
I also have to confess to googling the interesting sight in his nappy which turned out to be related to banana...... *blurgh*
