Today was Ollie's first day at daycare (*sob*).
Breakfast was porridge, which Ollie ate a bit of, but did have straight after his milk feed.
Lunch was at daycare.. and I forgot what it was, but involved cauliflower and rice. Apparently Ollie did well (and made a mess if his pants are any indicator) and ate about a third of his portion! Which would be some kind of amazing if the portion size was similar to the day I went. Maybe the teacher was including the floor sacrifice in his eaten? I was so happy to see him, I wasn't too worried about food.
Ollie also had afternoon tea for the first time ever! The teacher said he was a bit grizzly so she thought he might be hungry so she gave him a cruskit and something (the proper afternoon tea wasn't ready yet).
Dinner was a bit of a rush.. we had Fish and Chips. Ollie had some fish and some chips, and a banana biscotti! He was so cute, laughing and smiling. At the end of the meal, we skyped Nelson grandma .

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.. 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.

Another great food day today!
Breakfast was porridge which got everywhere, all over Ollie's pyjamas! He loves smooshing it, but eats a lot too. We also had good ol' pear!
Lunch was interesting! I was out for lunch with friends, so took a few items with me for Ollie. we went to a Satay Noodle House! Ollie started with biscotti and then got REALLY stuck into my satay chicken. I found a decent sized piece of chicken and couldn't get it off him! Was awesome, and a great ad for BLW! I also gave him some noodle, mushroom, but it was allll about the chicken. The rice was too separated for him to pick up. Pretty cool though, he was loving it!
Dinner was all wrong because I forgot to put the crockpot on! So we had macaroni cheese. Ollie got stuck in, and he also had some pear!
I'm so proud of my boy!

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!

Breakfast - thicker porridge (again with grated apple)! Ollie was able to pick up with his hands and eat! We had to rush off to swimming so nothing else for breakfast.
Lunch was cheese and lentil slice. Recipe out of the baby led weaning cookbook, and I'd been meaning to try it for a while. It was sooo yummy! Ollie loved it too. I think I cooked it a little too long, because it was quite crumbly. Might try another egg, and less cooking time next time. We also had mango for lunch... yum yum!
Dinner was meatballs baked in the oven (they were more like meat sticks!) while David and I thought they were yummo.. Ollie was tooo tired by the time they cooled. He did have a good helping of beans, capsicum and broccoli though! There are some leftover, so I think we'll have them for lunch tomorrow.

We tried porridge today! Was very messy! But also very fun. I took a photo so it might turn up on the main blog. I think Oliver actually ate a fair bit of porridge! Eating with his fingers didn't work so well, he kept shaking his hand like he had poo stuck to it... So, I tried pre-loading a spoon and giving him that. He took off at that point, (with me helping raise the spoon a bit) but still has some way to go before he can handle a spoon prperly himself. I'll try making porridge thicker next time I think.
Lunch was pretty funny! We had tuna patties (with lemon and thyme). The texture and shape of the patties was perfect and Ollie really enjoyed munching on them. The funny part came when he would just open his mouth and let the chewed bit roll of his tongue. It was as if he all of a sudden didn't like it. But, he'd put the pattie back in his mouth, have another bite... and repeat! He thought it was pretty hilarious. We also had banana biscotti (high iron baby version) and Ollie loved it! I can see that is going to be a regular at lunchtime. (David and I think it is pretty yum too!)
Dinner was tofu sticks and steamed vege. Steamed vege was yum, but I wasn't a fan of the tofu! Apparently you can give it to them raw, but it seemed odd, so I lightly dusted in flour and pan fried. I prefer my tofu in curry. Ollie seemed relatively interested in it, but didn't eat a huge amount as it seemed too firm. There must be another way I can cook it.. perhaps oven bake?
