So it seems I lost a few days! Whoopsie. No surprise really, I tend to get a bit slack. Have tagged some things we've been eating, but not everything. I should probably write stuff down so I remember it if I'm late posting! I think it will be really interesting (for me, if no one else) to look back on this and see how Ollie's eating evolved.
Things are going well, I've had a few moments of "ohmygosh Ollie isn't eating enough". Mainly when I see other babies eating five icecubes (!)worth of food. Then, I remember why we are doing this and I'm all good. Ollie definitely has days where he isn't interested at all, sometimes due to crappy timing. Dinner seems to be his best meal, as I'm a bit disorganised at lunch, or we are out and he is very distracted.
I'm thinking about starting to do breakfast too, and really embrace Ollie eating with me at every meal. We'll see how it goes...

Lunch... carrot muffin, pate on toast, banana. Ollie still loves pate! He seemed to eat a good chunk today, yet it was different to last time he had it. Before it seemed almost an accident if he swallowed some, but today he was purposefully moving it around his mouth and swallowing!. Banana seemed quite slippery for him today, it was a bit green still I think.
Dinner.. random chicken casserole that I threw together very quickly... with chicken, apricot, broccoli, cauliflower and carrot. Ollie not so into it - had a munch on some carrot and broccoli but only after I pointed them out. (Which I try not to do in the spirit of not intervening...) Until then, he just blew raspberries at David and giggled. hah! Totally ignored the chicken, though I have to admit, far from my best work!

We officially have a teethy grumpy monster in our house!
Lunch - raw carrot, pate, nectarine. He sucked the pate of the carrot, and seemed to really enjoy it, but that was about it - we didn't even get to the pear and cucumber!
Dinner - spicy lamb patties, steamed broccoli and carrot. Ollie had a good go at the broccoli, but wasn't too interested in the pattie! Disappointing! It was really good to see him pick up a smallish bit of broccoli - with no stalk and put that in his mouth though. He couldn't have done that two weeks ago. The patties were from the Baby Led Weaning Cookbook, which has some great recipe ideas in it.
We've had a rough few days, I think mainly due to Ollie's teeth and our lack of good timing. It seems he has almost regressed in his interest in food, but I think that is partly the "harder" foods we are giving. I will make sure we have at least one easy finger food every meal, but also add on an interesting new part too.
*repeat to myself - it is not about how much he eats. It is fine if he isn't too interested some days*

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!
