Well 2 days seem to have gone past but we have been quite busy with appointments and stuff so meals have been very ad hoc and babyG has had breakfast on Tuesday and a rushed tea on Wednesday.
On Tuesday morning George had his usual Melon (as did mummy) but unfortunately we had run out of Mango as an accompaniment so he was introduced to pear. To be honest it was very overripe and quite difficult for him to handle but he seemed to manage OK with it, after the first couple of gags anyway!
Yesterday morning saw George chomping away on a variety of fruit that always seem to get left at the bottom of the fruit bowl, he had pear (again, very ripe), plum (very ripe) and a brown banana. He seemed to be into the plum, I suspect as it was bright red in comparison to his otherwise beige breakfast. He gagged on it a few times and the skin came of fairly easily which confused him so after a few gums it was flung to the floor very dramatically and quickly scoffled up by Sophie. The pear was received very well and gummed quite enthusiastically, but then the banana made it's grand entrance! As the banana we had was quite ripe I tried a couple of serving methods...firstly I cut it in half and just presented it to George - anyone seen a baby trying to cram 1/2 a banana in his mouth....lengthways??
this proved quite difficult to handle so for my next trick I left the skin on 2/3 of the piece and let him get on with it. To be honest most of it was spat out or squished between his fingers but I'm sure some went down the hatch as for the rest of the morning he had a vague aroma of banana yoghurt about him.
For Tea Goerge was presented with a variety of veg, he had steamed cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus and baby corn. I was trying to keep him off carbs as he had had banana for breakfast and I didn;t want it to back him up if you know what I mean! The asparagus was first to be efficiently dispatched, swiftly followed by that old favourite broccoli! The Cauliflower was munched on fairly enthusiastically too, although the baby corn swiftly found it's way into the dogs mouth.
George was happy to sit at his high chair for ages playing with his food so I know that he enjoys his time 'eating', and while he is still quite sick it appears that more 'solid' things are staying down so hopefully we'll see a difference there too.
In other George news....He has another tooth, it broke through yesterday morning so we are now regularly brushing them before bed. he also is getting very good at rolling around, both from front to back and back to front which is good, but means we need to watch him closely to see what he's after grabbing! He also has come on leaps and bounds with sitting and will happily sit playing for a couple of minutes (wedged with the cushion). When I find the camera cable there'll be some piccys too!
