Lunch... banana, pear, and cheese on toast. Ollie still not really interested in pear... I might stew some up. Really good munch on the banana today. I left half the skin on, and he knew which end to pick it up straightaway. Still got very slippery.. mainly I think to the drool coming out his mouth and getting everywere!
Dinner... Chickpea patties, steamed broccolli, and kumara. Woohoo pattie success! I was starting to think Ollie was anti food in the shape of patties (after no interest in chickpea, lamb, or beef patties!).
We've realised it takes Ollie a bit longer to get into the meal, and often we are nearly done before anything makes it to his mouth. I think I'll try putting him in his highchair a bit earlier so he can understand what is happening.
Also - sippy cup success! He can drink out of it all by himself. Of course, he often spits it out straight after, but still!?!
No poop for a few days, I'm worried about potential explosion....
In February 2011, we started our (nearly) six month old son on "solid" food. Rather than going down the Plunket route of food out of a Watties jar, we opted for a baby led approach. Assisted by a university study, we set out on our baby led journey!

Day Thirteen - Thurday 3rd March 2011
Things are going really well with our new approach. Ollie has lunch with me every day, and dinner with daddy and mummy. Sometimes he eats nothing, sometimes he eats a little. Depends on the food and his mood.
Lunch today was pate on toast (mummy gag! smelt like catfood!). Ollie LOVED the pate! Photographic evidence:
We also had pear and avocado (mummy had crackers and cream cheese too!) but they didn't get a look in! Ollie was really chewing the toast, and sucking off the pate! He got quite excited (as you can tell by the amount of pate on his face). A fair bit of gagging, but he easily dealt with it, and straight back to eating. He did briefly suck on the avocado (when the toast was all gone) but no real interest.
Dinner! Chickpea (& Butterbean 'cause I opened the wrong can!) Patties and steamed cauliflower. Mummy and Daddy thought they were yum, but Ollie was tired so didn't really give anything a go. We were running late home so dinner was half an hour later than it should have been!
Whoop - finally up to date in publishing all of these!
