I had an exam this morning (long story!) and so we both missed swimming, so went directly to baby cafe....you'd think that this would have made me more organised with Evie's lunch - - but I was worse!!!
Thankfully baby cafe has a healthy eating bee in its bonnet - and so we are provided with fresh fruit & other healthy snacks...today was fruit.
As such we were able to improvise once again with tying Evie to the chair with a muslin (in the style of one of the portable highchairs rather than in a hostage style!!) and away we went.
She had apple (which was once again raw, but seems to be well liked - I MUST bake an apple for her!!), satsuma & kiwi. Kiwi is an allergy risk, so I will avoid strawberries (horrible out of season so I'd avoid anyway!!) and tomatoes & eggs for a day or 2.....but we have no allergies within the family so I am not too concerned. She did seem to enjoy the kiwi though!

Double Baked potato!
I had a friend come round for coffee this afternoon, arriving around lunch time, so dh was in charge of Evie's lunch....not as daunting as it sounds as I had baked a potato for her on monday night!
He did choose to match it with peach slices though - poor girl!
She had an impromptu second meal as she was sat in the bumbo avidly watching him cook dinner later on, and so he dug out the uneaten food from lunch & gave her a bit more!
I am not sure I would repeat meals in the same day through choice - but she seemed happy enough!

A failure!
I seem to have no record for sunday 22nd Jan, so onward to monday 23rd!!
I had bought some fresh peaches, and hoped to recreate the success of the whole pear....but the peaches were quite under ripe (which is how I prefer mine!!) so not easy whole - and tbh they weren't a great deal better when sliced up.
So we resorted to the fall back position of half a banana!!
Luckily, George finished off the uneaten halves....big brothers are so handy!!

The Queen of Spoons!!
a new day & a double new experience!!
I baked a sweet potato - which I used to do often for George, but this one was far too squidgy for madam to properly eat with her hands.
So I resorted to the old 'loaded spoon' option - and she did a cracking job - she really did eat loads and seemed to know exactly what to do with the spoon! I did 2 spoons in rotation, and this seemed to work quite well - I'm pleased as I have given this advice a few times to other BLW mums!
I think you'll agree she did well!!

a Pub lunch with friends!
My good friend visited us today, with her 3 year old daughter, and so we went for a mummy & me lunch in our local pub!
Miss Evie had some green & red pepper strips from our side salads, a couple of slices of tomato & a couple of fat cut chips. Now, chips are really not the devils own food in this scenario.... proper chipped potatoes fried in veggie oil. No salt or ketchup etc. They may not be a slimmers choice - or an every day choice - but there is nothing inherently bad about them!
Evie seemed very interested in the world at large though (as usual!!) and so not a lot was eaten.

Malt loaf
My darling husband decided, of his own volition, to give my Miss Mouse a breakfast of malt loaf. Of course, he didn't use the mat - so malt loaf was nicely ground into the table when I got up!!
I offered her a 'snack' of a small bit of banana (not keen) and a cream cracker with Philli - again as a way of increasing social eating time as she ate with George again.
No pictures....I was desperately trying to cook dinner!!

2 Meals!!
Okay,
so this wasn't a conscious effort to give Evie more food in a day but more of a slightly crap parenting decision. It was wednesday again, so the whole lunch at baby cafe was necessary! I grabbed 2 cooked yesterday & refrigerated baby corns...but what else? I didn't want hugely messy food as the seating there isn't ideal and she wastes lots. So I grabbed a whole apple - which she had in chunks at cafe! Great teething, but not such good eating.
So, when George was having his after school snack of crumpets & salad I made an extra crumpet for madam.....and she loved it!!
I have GOT to work on more fresh veggies though! Urgh, maternal guilt!!
