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!

Great food day today! Daddy did breakfast (mummy had a sleep in!) which was mini wheats and pear. According to David, Oliver ate at least half a mini wheat and a bit of pear (which sounds like nothing, but in the early days of BLW that is pretty good I think!)
Lunch we had at a cafe with his beautiful aunties Kate & Scone. Cheese toastie, rusk with cream cheese, and banana. Banana went pretty much straight on the floor (and I wasn't giving it back). Cream cheese was sucked off rusk (as usual). Toastie was interesting.. I cut it into short soliders and he sucked on them for most of the time we were eating. White bread, so hard to chew up, but bits definitely went down with all the sucking!
Dinner was Lamb Kofta (recipe provided by university study resources). And wow, it was a hit. Kofta straight to mouth, lots of chewing and sucking. Also had steamed kumara, carrot, and broccoli which he really got into, it was nice and mushy so easy for him to pass around his mouth. Definitely got kofta and veges down. He was really funny, cracking up towards the end of the meal, with a beautiful smile on his face.
I've decided to post any pics over on our main blog and just use this as a food diary. Saves posting them twice, and I figure no one actually reads this anyway (except maybe mum). Main blog here .

Breakfast.. mini wheats and pear! Of course! I'm working on more varied breakfasts!
Lunch was at Nana & Poppa's so we took some french toast and avocado (mixed with baby rice for iron) to have on rusks). Oliver wasn't too distracted (it was just the two of us at the table) but he made quite a mess! Ate lots of avocado and some french toast!
Dinner was pork chops. I was hoping he could hold onto the chop and chew, but the chops I got were the wrong shape for that! Still, he loved the pork, he had a stray bit in his mouth that we was chewing en route to shower. We now have a cheek checkpoint in the shower every night!
We've got proper (but short still) little teeth through now, the two bottom ones. It will be interesting to see how that affects our mealtimes!

Woohoo BREAKFAST! We had mini wheats (best find ever - I must thank the mum that put me on to them!) with rice milk, and pear. Ollie had a really good go at the mini wheat and for the first time ever loved the pear! Normally he just ignores pear, and I was close to giving it up but today he got right into it. It was quite ripe (another tip from the same mum) which I think helped.
Lunch was a bit of a drama.. we went to Grandma and Grandads, but left Ollie's lunch box at home! whoops! We scraped together a banana, plum, and teething rusks with cream cheese. I guess my super iron rich piklets will be good for lunch tomorrow! Ollie really enjoyed his banana and for the first time ever he managed to eat some of the rusk (cream cheese everywhere!) I think the TEETH coming through really helped, as it looked like he was scraping the rusk on his teeth! They aren't really teeth - just little pointy tops of teeth - both bottom ones!
Dinner... meatloaf from last night and steamed capsicum and beans. Ollie was way tired and not into it. I was really hoping he would like meatloaf as his dad loves it!
And just because there has been no Ollie pics on here for a bit....

Whoopsie
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...

Saturday 19th March
We had a wedding in Martinborough today (was awesome) but a lazy start to the day meant we were rather rushed for time! I'd hoped to prepare a decent lunchbox for Ollie as I knew the wedding dinner wouldn't be suitable. Well, that didn't happen! I took cream cheese, some rusks, banana, and apricot. We had lunch in the car while Ollie was zonked out, and by the time dinnertime arrived, he was a bit over it. He did enjoy the teething rusks - so I will give him those again, but he just sucked on them - too hard for him to munch. He enjoyed the cream cheese off the rusks, and had a wee go at his banana. Apricot just got flung around. We didn't take a mat to put under him and while they did provide a highchair, I was conscious of spreading food into the carpet! He was the only baby there (bar the bride&groom's five week old!)
So, I'm looking for ideas of stuff I can throw together quickly when I'm disorganised! Oh to be super organised all the time. I'm also looking for some kind of suction cup plate (not bowl) that can sit on the table and he can reach but not pull off... maybe I'll just get a plastic bowl that can't hurt him when he inevitably smacks himself on the head...
