Shiv, I am very very envious of Sophia's diet! Every recipe you post sounds so yummy.

 

[polaris]

B: Bitesize shredded wheat, half a banana, yogurt mixed with raspberry fruit spread
L: Leftover moussaka, lots of broccoli, one and a half kiwi fruits
D: Lamb korma, green lentil dhaal, saag (spinach curry), big handfuls of rice, naan bread with mint yoghurt dip, half a satsuma

He only had three milk feeds today instead of four - we were in town this morning and he didn't ask for a feed (normally has one at about 11/11.30) and by the time we got home it was lunchtime so I just gave him his lunch instead. He didn't seem to miss the feed although he had a very good feed at 3 p.m. after his nap - hadn't had a milk feed since 7.30 that morning! I'm thinking I might stop offering the mid morning feed and see how he gets on with just the three feeds?

Joeyjo - that is so cool that he wants to use a fork to eat his food just like mummy and daddy!! LOL at him trying to spear peas with a plastic fork though, could be there a while!

Hope the spag bol went down well - it's a firm favourite in this house but it is definitely one of the messier dinners, LOL!

Adam has had:

b: a weetabix with natural yogurt, a banana, a satsuma
l: a humzinger, a piece of cheese, half an M&S egg mayo sandwich (shared with me, emergency, he threw a massive tantrum in M&S when he finished his cheese, I presume because he wanted more but all there was was rice cakes because I was going to make lunch proper when we got home, and he wouldn't have them, so I had to get something and this looked not too awful, and it turned out he loved it, wolfed it down and then the tantrum began again )
s: some raspberries
d: lasagne, yogurt and prunes

 

[jenny82]

Today was a funny old day but think his mouth was sore...
