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!

Dinner tonight was curry! Real curry from the local indian place! We had Malai Kofta and Lamb Korma. The Kofta was too soft and Oliver totally ignored the lamb, but he LOVED pita bread dipped in the Malai Kofta sauce! What a hit! Didn't eat too much, but hopefully next time he'll have a go at the meat too!

Still recovering from our colds here!!

Breakfast, mini wheats and pear. Ollie really getting into pear lately! He loooves it. Its hard to think a few weeks ago it was too slippery to hold!

Lunch... pita pocket with cream cheese (and baby rice mixed in), cucumber. Cucumber is another favourite at the moment (I think it helps with the teeth too!)

Dinner.. Chicken drumsticks, with steamed carrot and broccoli, mashed potato. The chicken was cooked in the crockpot, so really fell off the bone. Ollie had quite a good go, except the mash... He was very very tired.

My super amazing meal plan didn't go so well this week.. our oven  (brand new) has stopped working. Thank god the stove still works. hopefully gets fixed next week!

Lunch... cream cheese with baby rice, using capsicum, carrot -raw, cucumber, pita pocket as dippers.
Dinner ... cottage pie with steamed kumara and carrot. Didn't get into the cottage pie - a bit difficult I think. If we keep offering eventually he'll be able to pick it up! :) Or use cutlery!

Ollie had a few days where he didn't eat so much.. but we have a tooth coming! It has started to cut, which has made for a very unhappy boy. I need to remind myself it isn't about the volume and is quite normal to have a few off days!  I've done a meal plan that loosely includes lunch and breakfast to try and make me more organised so we don't have toast everyday! I've got lots of muffin recipes so we'll see how it goes.

He has definitely come along with his fine motor skills! Not quite managing the pincer grip, but getting there - using two fingers and thumb to pick up smaller bits of food.
