George Discovers Nectarines

We have been away this weekend so food has been at odd times and sometimes missed out all together! On Friday we had our normal meals so breakfast was banana and melon, the melon a bit under ripe still so this wasn't really looked at in much detail but the banana seemed to go down well again, I think I added a pear to the proceedings too at some point and from my (very blurry memory) I think he still likes it!
Lunch on Friday was a veritable feast with babyG being offered sweet potato wedges sprinkled with cinnamon and rice cakes with homemade hummous on them. For the hummous I whizzed up a can of chick peas, some oil, some garlic and lime juice, then a couple of sun dried tomatoes. This could possibly be the best thing that George has ever eaten and I did have to go and get more rice cakes as he was banging his hands on the tray and shrieking! Here's a picture of George looking quite messy after this meal!


Friday night turned into a bit of a nightmare though with George waking at 3 and staying up till 5, not sure why, perhaps it was the garlic??

On Saturday we were off to Aunty Caty's house so breakfast was foregone in favour of a 3 hour car journey however Cate had prepared sweet potato wedges and roast courgette fingers which George wolfed down, Hannah on the other hand disregarded the courgette in spectacular fashion flinging it aside in favour of pudding. We had to wipe the fromage frais from the sippy cup before George *shared* it however as I don;t think Fromage Frais classes as non dairy!

Sunday was again a one meal day, breakfast consisted of Pear and Nectarine. I have never seen George eat so much fruit, I quartered the nectarine and George really went for it, at the end of the meal there was only skin left and babyG excelled himself in front of family and showed his eating skills off magnificently to big cousin Hannah.

In a break from tradition, tomorrows meals include roast potato breakfast, tune back in for more details tomorrow!
