MIND READING

Teeny - 365

"Oh no it's all over my face mommy" he says as he holds his head in his hand.  "It should actually be in my belly." 

 

Ok, so you are too young to have said all of that, but I know that is exactly what you are thinking.

SHOVELLING IT IN

Teeny - 365

GREEDY

Teeny - 88/365

This is how I often find you with food; a mouthful and a piece in each hand as if you're frightened that I'm going to take it from you.  I daren't try even if I wanted to.

FULL TUMMY

Teeny - 83/365

It amazes me how happy a plate of food makes you and that in turn reminds me how lucky I am to be able to provide you all with such nourishment without a second thought.

STRAWBERRY

Teeny - 47/365

I tend to buy whatever fruit is in season so today, at Freya's first birthday party, was the first time that you have tried strawberries.  Despite the look on your face here you seemed to really enjoy it, so much so that when you finished your own you swiped one from somebody else's plate.

SOUP PRINT

Maybe you thought your eye was missing out on the delicious soup we had for lunch today and so you decided to share; the result being this hand print.

BRRR FREEZING...

Teeny - 14/365

...no I'm not referring to the weather, but the pineapple that clearly hadn't quite defrosted!  It didn't put you off though as you still went back for more.

PINCER GRIP

Teeny - 12/365

Today was the first time I have seen Teeny use his pincer grip successfully; he managed to pick up the raisins one by one and get them to his mouth with very little bother.  It excites me to watch the stages babies go through when we allow them to take the lead with solid food.  Left to his own devices Teeny has gone from this to what you see in this picture today in less than three months.  Babies are cleverer than we think, we just need to give them the opportunity to show us.

BREAKFAST BLW STYLE

Teeny - 3/365

Lately I have been trying to figure out how best to fit your breakfast into the day whilst (a) still getting out of the house on time to get the tiddlers to nursery, (b) not having to come straight home after dropping the tiddlers at nursery and (c) not having to clear up a breakfast bombsite on my return. BLW makes perfect sense to me; I have never spoonfed you and I am not about  to start, but that does kind of makes life a bit awkward when it comes to breakfast in a busy household.  So today I enjoyed the calm before what will be the breakfast storm; giving you breakfast of Weetabix soaked in enough milk to make it edible, but not so much that it falls apart and watched you devour part of it and completely trash my kitchen with the rest of it.  A taste of things to come I hear you say!

MMM CUCUMBER

FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD



So here is Teeny during his first family meal and there's not a spoon or pureed vegetable in sight.  BLW rocks and I already have two children that are proof of that!!
