Things that have been happening

So, I know it looks as if George hasn't eaten for weeks and weeks but I promise you he has been having 3 meals a day everyday - and somedays he's managed 4!

We've been keeping a rigourous food diary on paper since I had to complete one for the dietician (which reminds me, I really must send that in..ooops) so I know exactly what George has been eating, rather than bore you all with the detailsI'll provide you with all the exciting highlights...Much like Match of the Day without the annoying commentary or analysis.

Breakfasts

George has mainly had mini shredded wheats for breakfast as they are a good size to handle, and he likes them. Prefences so far are for the blueberry ones but we're currently on day 1 of the cranberry ones so we'll see. Rice milk is the accompaniment to wheats and I must say I'm getting used to the taste too so it mustn't be too bad. On the days where we've not been organised enough to have not run out of wheats we have resorted to either toast or fruit combinations...George was going to have left over roast potatoes for breakfast morning again but he's since learnt the hard way that you have to be quick off the mark if you want left over roasties in this house!

Ooooh he must have had crumpets one day too as here he is from the 10th April having crumpet for the first time, with what appears to be a Blueberry Wheat chaser.


Lunches

George tends to have quick lunches but things he has had these past couple of weeks include Pasta with a homemade sauce, crumpets, fruit and veg. He has had lunch out once too (already, how posh!) after Yoga and had a variety of stuff, including a Marmite sandwich, Carrot poofs, Melon and an organix gingerbread man. Unfortunately he made a BIG mess, but fortunetely his little friend Isabelle was there to show everyone that BLW wasn'll all about mess and smushing food everywhere!
Here he is after his first pasta and sauce meal

Tea
Tea has been generally where I have made a bigger efort for George, he seems to like eating at this time more than lunch so always has a bigger appetite. I suppose this could be because he substituted a breast feed for this meal, so has always had food at this time.

Some interesting things George has eaten include potato cakes (or how to use up left over mash), pasta and sauce, a whole nectarine, beans on toast (I know you want to see the pictures!!), veggie patties (I had to add a lot more flour than expected to these), Pasta and pesto (dairy free one that contains Cashews...no nut reaction yet...yay!!) and Beef Stew.
