Showing off at Eating

This weekend we were away at a Christening and I wasn't sure how George would manage with his eating in a busy household but no problems there. George isn't being given regular meals yet, I tend to do him breakfast because he's always awake and it gives me an oppotunity to sit down with him at the table and share a meal (my fruit intake has gone up dramatically), then, depending on naps he will either have an early lunch or early tea - if available. So, we arrived at the house on Saturday afternoon and I promptly cut George up some melon and mango to eat as he had had no breakfast (mean mummy) on account of the 4 hour drive. Well, he wolfed it down and I was so proud, all the distractions of new people and big cousins did nothing to put George off his food.

On Sunday morning George again had Melon and Mango before the Christening and for lunch (early tea) he had a variety of roasted veg (parsnip, carrot and sweet potato) again, the crowds didn't put George off his food and he pretty much polished off everything that was put before him. It's definitely going down too, and out the other end, as evidenced by some choice nappies!

Here he is eating on Sunday (with mummy)





Monday was a return to home so again, no breakfast, but his later meal was again roast veg (sweet potato, parsnip and carrot) with the addition of a bit of pepper softened in the oven. Unsurprisingly the 'snip was shunned for orange food, with sweet potato taking preference over carrot. The red pepper was viewed suspiciously as it introduces a new colour to food, but George did give it a go and didn't seem too distressed by the taste.


Just a thought - must find some way of keeping the sleeves close to BabyG's arms as they always seem to get filled with food.

In other, non eating news babyG is often found upside down in the morning these days )not literally). I think he wakes up then decides that he won;t be going back to sleep and flips himself over onto his back to look at the ceiling (i before e except after c), which means we get a bit of respite as he lies there chuntering to himself quite happily for a while...Hoorah
