Boy Flu - like man flu but for little people

Yes, George has had his first taste of man flu, he caught it off his daddy who had it BAD, babyG seems to be out of the worst of it now though and a bit more interested in eating. So on Sunday George had banana for breakfast which was duly messed with then gummed and then thrown on the floor...not a great start. Lunch however went much better, we were out to lunch with Matts parents and my MIL had done baby G some roasted veg so he sat on my knee with a muslin tied round his neck and proceeded to scoff the lot. Whether he was showing off in front of people I don't know but he seemed to wolf some things down (noticeably sweet potato - again!).

After a diabolical night on Sunday which saw an emergency Medised administrations at 3:15am George skipped breakfast in favour of crying and generally being a whinge bag, although I soon forgave him as he was suffering quite badly. For lunch babyG had some sweet potato wedges (running low again, time to shop I think) and a couple of Organix apple rice cakes which he isn't really sure about but seems to like scraping his teeth on.

I'm not sure whether it's the lack of dairy in my diet but George seems to have turned a slight corner with his evening sleepings, for the first time since he was born he has regularly gone to bed before 8 o clock, almost unheard of and we are finding time to eat properly in the evenings again which is nice.

On Tuesday George had his first mush! We only had very ripe bananas so I mashed it and added a spoon. I tried to feed George but he was having none of it (YAY) so in the end I loaded the spoon and let him do his worst, his aim was rubbish so we swiftly left the banana to one side and proceeded with a pear which I have to admit George ate a surprising amount of.
Lunch yesterday was potato wedges (no surprises there if you also have read Hannah's blog!) which again George seemed to like quite well - and I had them too. Between us we shared 2 potatoes and I had a dollop of ketchup with mine. BabyG had his plain though :o)

After the Easter break we'll have to start eating out occasionally so that should be fun, ideas for non dairy picnic food welcomed.

PS - Georges 6 month birthday is already planned, he will be celebrating with a crumpet/pikelet..good lad!
