Breakfast... was too soon after Ollie's milk feed and he just wasn't interested. Didn't even pick anything up. I was surprised, as I didn't think he associated food with hunger yet...
I did try breakfast again after his nap (he went straight to bed after the failed breakfast) but I had a porridge diaster so I gave up and gave him his milk feed a bit early.
Lunch was interesting! We had tuna patties and pear. Ollie didn't seem to love the patties, but did eat some. Then I gave him pear, quartered as usual. He ate nearly a whole pear! I couldn't believe it. He got quite grumpy when only a teeny (pea sized) bit was left of each bit, but was quickly placated when I gave him another bit. Before I knew it, the whole pear was gone. He then had another go at his smooshed tuna patties, picking up quite small pieces and sucking them into his mouth.
I do believe we have turned an eating corner! Now I think I need to make sure there is an easy food with EVERY meal as he will start to rely on calories etc. from his solids. After the seemingly successful lunch at daycare yesterday, I am very optimistic!
Dinner was butter chicken! Ollie loved it, couldn't pick up the rice, but really enjoyed the butter chicken (made from scratch, finished in the crockpot).

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.. hot cross buns! and mini wheats! Lunch... rusks with cream cheese (Farex mixed in) and pineapple.
Can you tell we are having a lazy Easter weekend? Both meals Ollie ate well - sucking the cream cheese of the rusks, and off a spork! Again, loving the pineapple!
Dinner.. lamb kofta cooked by my darling husband (baked not fried) with steamed cauliflower and carrot. Ollie had a great meal, ate lots. More vege than kofta as the meat took a wee while to cool down. At the end of the meal we used the laptop to skype Ollie's grandparents in Nelson so we could show off his eating! He was obviously distracted, but did continue to eat a bit while the laptop was on. It was cool for the grandies to see him munching away!

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.
