Poor Snotty Edward Bear :o(

Why Ello Monsier Mange Tout!

Poor little Edward-Tedward is indeed as I suspected not a well bunny. After being unsettled and grumpy all evening yesterday he actually started screaming and crying just as Luke and I were about to go to bed. We cuddled him and gave him capol and put saline drops in his nose, eventually he fell asleep in Luke's arms, but we kept him in the bed with us all night as he kept waking and it was easier to keep an eye on him and keep him comforted in with us. By morning he'd cheered up significantly and seemed alot less snotty so I took him out with me as I had a few things to get done around town today.

Breakfast - Banana and porridge

Lunch - Apple puree and yoghurt

Snack - Rusk

Supper - He tried some potato mash which he pretty much refused so I gave him some more banana and porridge. For the first time he tried mange tout with Philidelphia and some with hummus, he didn't really eat the mange tout but he enjoyed sucking off the Philly and hummus.

Sadly this evening he's obviously feeling rather rubbish again, he's grumpy, has been crying a little bit , is quite snotty and generally not himself. I know it's just a cold and nothing major but it's so upsetting to see him crying real little tears :o(

The cat in the hat comes back....

This is a series of photos I've been taking, I meant to do it each month but have forgotten a few times, even so I still think they are very cute and it's amazing to see how much he's grown!

Grumpy Day

Breakfast - Apple puree and baby porridge

Lunch - Chicken pie and Apple puree

Supper - Chicken pie and Yoghurt

Edward has been a beast all evening grumping and grizzling for no obvious reason, I know I shouldn't complain as he's so rarely like this, but it is frustrating when he is and actually kind of upsetting as I just want him to be happy. I'm not sure if it is a bit of a run on from last night, he was awake and crying a few times which is also unlike him, I'm not sure if it's the heat or if he's teething or what, poor boy!

I WILL have three meals a day!

Very late Breakfast come brunch - mince in pasta sauce with banana and porridge

Supper - Carrot with banana and baby rice

Second Supper - Yoghurt and muesli

Things got in a bit of a pickle today as I had annual review and so had to leave the house early. Luke thought I'd already given Edward his solid breakfast before I left, I popped home at lunch time and Edward was asleep though I awoke him crashing my way in! Poor boy! Later in the day after having had a big supper and his milk he went to sleep, I thought for the night, but after an hour or so he woke up and demanded more food hence his second supper...he has obviously got used to three square meals and any less is substandard!

Pear Porridge and RED meat!

Breakfast - Pear and Ready-Break. I thought he might revolt if I offered him the Peach and Banana baby cereal again and so stole a pear nuked it in the microwave and mashed it with a potato masher, it was kind of lumpy but worked ok, I added the Ready-Break in an attempt to try and get Edward's poo's to be more solid as I think it's important that his bowel starts to get the hang of passing more than just liquids.

Lunch - The last few teaspoons of the Pear and Ready-Break and an apricot yoghurt.

Supper - Luke and I had the pasta sauce with mince and pasta tonight. There wasn't enough pasta spare to include it in Edward's dish so he just got the mince and sauce pureed, which was quite exciting as it was his first taste of beef. He wasn't terribly impressed and whilst smiling smeared it all over the pair of us! For pudding I gave him about half a banana pureed and mixed with some baby rice.

Picnic!!

Mmmm Tasty Playmat!!

Breakfast - Peach and Banana baby cereal (guess who forgot to pack much of a variety)

Lunch - Peach and Banana baby cereal. I did offer raspberry's but I think they were too sour for him as he spat them out. Edward also had some pita bread and some chicken and some normal bread out on the lawn at the family picnic.





Supper - You guessed it Peach and Banana baby cereal .... in my defense I did actually take some of the pasta sauce and the jar from John Lewis but he was so distracted and over excited by all the people milling around I knew it was pointless to even try so stuck to things I knew he would eat.

Other things Edward sampled that I don't strictly think come under weaning include; his playmat, grass, flowers, a dragon and a tennis ball...well until we decided said tennis ball had probably already been sampled by Frank the dog and so probably wasn't ideal!!

Concentrate...Concentrate!!

Eating Pitta Bread is a serious business!

Friday

Breakfast - Apple Puree eaten in Ann Summers whilst flirting with the manikins!

Lunch - He turned his nose up at the free jar of lentil bake we got from John Lewis and instead had a slightly warm yoghurt.

Supper - Banana and Peach baby breakfast cereal...much to Cousin Emily and Duncan's dismay apparently I will confuse him for all time by giving him cereal at night!!
