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.. porridge again! Made it super chunky again, seems to work best if I use half rice milk and half water. I didn't put grated apple in it this time, we were pushed for time. Ollie didn't seem to notice. We also had the end of our mango.. yum yum! Ollie really loves mango, and if it is nice and ripe, he can eat a fair bit.
Lunch was leftover meatballs and leftover cheese and lentil slice. And Feijoa! He really got into all of it and seemed to eat a fair bit! He liked the feijoa, and sucked out the juicy centre, and spat out the harder edge bit. He needed a bit of help to get it to his mouth though.
Stirfry for dinner. Ollie was so so tired (we really need to address his extreme tiredness at the end of the day! he won't have an afternoon nap, but struggles to make it to bedtime) but he still had a good go at his stirfry, particularly the beef!
All in all, a very successful food day!

Tuesday 15th March
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!

Tuesday 8th March
Despite the teething monster still visiting, we had a really good day BLW-wise toda!
Lunch - bean salad, cucumber... and I can't remember what else! He really got into the cucumber, more than he ever has. I think it was because it was really cold - straight from the fridge.
Dinner - Stirfry.David and my favourite dinner, and it seems Ollie's too! First time we'd tried baby corn - and it was a hit!

Day Twelve - Wed 2nd March
Lunch: Leftover steak, carrot and brocolli. He again enjoyed his steak, but also got into the carrot, brocolli, and courgette today. Chewing on it all! He especially like the broccoli today, biting off a huge hunk and chewing around his mouth for aaages! Also the carrot, he was actually biting off huge chunks and chewing them around his mouth! (I'll be looking out for carrot in upcoming nappies.....!)
Dinner: We are getting more adventurous.... I have Guides on a Wednesday night, so in order for Ollie to have dinner with us, I need to be super organised. Today I made a green curry casserole in the crockpot. Beef steak, green curry paste, coconut milk, tomatoes, tomato puree, courgette, broccoli, carrot... and capsicum. I think thats it! Made in a bit of a hurry as Ollie decided he was STARVING and needed a feed as I was in the middle of it. Ollie seemed to really like it, and had a go at all of it. By the end of the meal, he was covered in curry sauce! Straight into the shower after dinner!
Such a successful day!

Day Eleven - Tuesday 1st March
Lunch: Banana and Pear. Ollie didn't really ingest anything much today, but I was so impressed with how his food handling skills have improved! A week or so ago, he couldn't hold onto banana and eat it, even in the skin. It got too slippery, or the unpeeled end fell off. Similar with pear - very slippery! Today, he picked up his banana and put in in his mouth! We are also starting to see more chewing action, as well as the sucking! He also picked up his pear and sucked on that quite competently! It is amazing, in less than two weeks, just how much more capable he is.
Dinner: STEAK! With steamed broccoli, courgette, and carrot. I thought he did well with the beef strips in the stirfry last night, but wow did he enjoy the steak! We cooked a mini size beef steak to well done, and then cut into Ollie size strips! He really got into it - almost attacking it. Ripping it up, chewing it around his mouth, and sucking out the juices. The poor veges weren't getting a look in!
