Breakfast - Muesli
Lunch - Fruit Medley custard with Baby rice
Supper - Carrot, Broccoli, yorkshire pudding, crackling, egg all BLW style
VERY exciting news Edward has a tooth, bottom row at the front, you can't really see it yet, you can just feel where it has cut through the gum....no wonder he's been such a grumpy monkey!

Teething?
Breakfast - Apple and Blueberry baby cereal
Lunch - Salmon and mash, with yoghurt (most of which went round his face and in his hair...clearly not too impressed!)
Supper - Carrot and Cheesy potato mash. Half a fruit-medley custard pot with baby rice
Edward has been a bit more cheerful today thank goodness however he still is not himself. We suspect teething due to the excessive amount of dribble and the fact he keeps chewing on one side, I've had a feel and there are no teeth yet, however I don't think it will be too much longer before they break through.
We tried offering Edward some diluted apple juice today as we are a little concerned he's not getting enough fluid now we've started cutting down his milk. He had a little bit but wasn't terrible interested.

Puree Day
Breakfast - Banana and Peach Breakfast
Lunch - Vegetable and Lentil Bake and a yoghurt
Supper - Butternut squash and Potato Mash with Salmon
Snack - Crackerbread with Marmite
I did lots and lots of puréeing today so the freezer is nicely stocked up now. Sadly Luke put my snazzy new flexible ice-cube tray in the dishwasher and it kind of melted and so now looks like some sort of piece of modern art. I shoved the potato mash in it anyway and I will have to see how well the cubes freeze and if it's still possible to get them out.
I did mostly main course type things today, and a few pots of apple, so I think I may need to buy some fruit and make some more as Edward tends to have fruit most mornings with his breakfast. It also makes a good bribe for encouraging him to eat other things.
Edward is not right in himself he's been utterly grumpy wingey and horrid all day, he's been driving me mad!! I just hope he is better tomorrow or I may have to call Mr. Stork and tell him to take him away!!

Nectarines and Butterflies
Breakfast - Nectarine puree and Porridge
Lunch - Mince and mash, yoghurt, a cracker and some crackerbread with apricot jam
Supper - Apple puree and Porridge
We had a lovely day today as we went to the butterfly house exhibition at the Natural History museum with Shaune and Xander, we then went for cake though I was a mean mummy and didn't give Edward any! Luke fed Edward his supper as I was fast asleep after our exciting trip out!
Edward also did his best to eat some of his rolly-balls which I had put in a dish for him to stop them getting away, though he still managed to knock them out the dish and they went rolling off across the floor much to his intense consternation.

Piggy Wiggy Day!
Breakfast - Banana and porridge (fed to him by his Daddy!)
Lunch - Mince with tomato and vegetable sauce, and two cubes of carrot. Yoghurt for pudding.
Supper - Half a jar of vegetable and lentil bake (the one from John Lewis) a yoghurt and then apple puree with baby rice!!
I was truly amazed by how much Edward ate today, what a little porker! I'm pleased though as he ate some proper foods as well as 'puddingy' sweet things, though it is obvious which is his favourite.
At dinner time he had got so hungry he'd worked himself up and started crying and continued to cry the entire time I fed him, however it all went down and I didn't take any nonsense I just poked it in, it seemed to work well as I wasn't having to force it in, he wouldn't open his mouth for it as it came in, but if I poked his lips then he would. I never want to force him to eat and I know full well that if he didn't like it he would clamp his little jaws shut and turn his head away!
I also didn't do my usual trick of 'sweet spoonful' followed by 'savoury spoonful' he just got his mains and then got is pudding. I think this is a much more healthy way of doing things as I don't want him to think of sweet things as a reward, they are just part of an overall balanced meal.
In the evening after supper Edward had a bath and Uncle Fred helped out which was really awesome :o)
I really need to have a few days of stocking up the freezer as it's starting to look a little empty now he's started eating so much, I've got some potatoes, apples, nectarines and a butternut squash.all ready to be prepared.

Tired Boy
Breakfast - LARGE bowl of porridge and pear with yoghurt for pud
Lunch/Supper - Three cubes of carrot and a small pot of muesli and pear
Edward has been a VERY tired boy and spent most of the day asleep, after his early milk he slept in till late, then slept most of the afternoon and has now gone to bed for the night pretty early, I think all his riotous partying at the weekend has well and truly caught up with him!

August And Everything After
Yes my little marmosets it is indeed August already! I'm afraid I've lost track a little of what I've fed Edward the last few days as we've been away at Fleur's wedding. If truth be told I often actually struggle to remember what I fed him for breakfast and lunch by the time I sit down to do his blog each night so remembering four days worth of nosh is beyond me.
When I went over Uncle Alex picked us up from the train station and we headed to TESCO's to buy some food for Edward as it was too heavy to take with me. I got a variety of things including some Blueberry and Apple baby cereal, some Apple and banana puree pots and some Carrot and apple puree pots, I also got some Fruity Chicken and vegetables with rice he ate all of these at some point over the weekend. I did get some sort of cheesy vegetables thing which he didn't ever have any of as I didn't think it would be very popular and he was finding it hard to eat anyway as there was so much going on with the new environment and lots of people milling around.
Edward also had some crackers, twiglets, cheesecake and a wine-cork this weekend all of which he loved, though he did leave a rather tell-tale trail of crackers from the car to the caravan. It amused Gruffy, who has recently been on a Ray Mears tracking course, to be able to track the path of a monkey-baby, he was able to accurately surmise one had passed by this way recently!
Edward also rather worryingly nearly ate a wasp who rather wickedly did it's best to steal Edward's dinner from off his lips. It was quite a scary moment as Luke is very allergic to wasp stings and I don't yet know if Edward is too, so to have this horrid little wasp crawling on his face was quite terrifying for me, though I did quite well at keeping calming and shooing it away.
Edward has remained marginally unwell all weekend, his nose is still snotty which is causing him a few problems when he's sleeping as he can't breathe properly, I just hope he manages to shake it off and get back to normal soon.
