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).

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?
