Strawberry Baby

Breakfast - A whole pear BLW

Lunch - Crackerbread with Marmite and Cheese BLW

Supper - Yoghurt, Apple cereal and porridge (as I poured in too much water and had to thicken it!) with Strawberry's for pudding yum yum!

Edward really seemed to enjoy his food today and hardly left anything when he fed himself. His 'crawling' is proving very amusing, however the fun fun nappy-opening-poo-smearing trend is not.

I love him so much he is so awesome :o)

No news is good news

Mmm tasty shoes!!

I'm afraid I've been away so there are no riveting updates detailing what Edward has consumed over the last few days, which is probably a good thing as it does include not only shoes but his own poo, however Luke has taken some lovely photos and a video hurrah!!

Well I can TRY and have it done for you by Monday...

....Or I could just eat the keyboard!!

8 Months Old Today!

Breakfast - Blueberry and apple cereal

Lunch - A chip and tiny piece of doughnut...some of which got very surreptitiously thrown 'overboard'

Snack - Leaves followed by Mr Chris' watch and shoes

Supper - Muesli

We've had a really excellent day out, Edward had some new tasty things to celebrate his 8 months and got to flirt with a pretty waitress and my friend Claire who we randomly bumped into in Reading. He did really well all day and only got grumpy when we curbed his leaf and shoe eating, I was a very proud mummy.

As I have said on my blog this is the first time I've gone on a day trip out of London to see a friend with Edward, it has given me a lot of confidence and hope that I will now be less nervous about venturing afar to see my country-wide chums and introduce them to my beautiful son....you never know one day it may even stop feeling weird calling him my son!

Again an unofficial weigh-in but I feel as it is his 8 month birthday I should make an effort...my porky boy now comes in at whopping 8.9 kg or 19.6lbs ...no wonder it's getting tough to lift him!

Video Diary

Breakfast - Nectarine and rice

Lunch - Rusk and a very unpopular bit of lamb and vegetables out of a jar

Supper - Potato, carrot and chicken (largely worn as a facepack) followed by yoghurt

Edward has been VERY unenthusiastic about food today I'm not really sure why, I think I may need to cut his milk back as I upped it while he was teething. We will see how things go tomorrow though it could all be a bit of a pickle as we are going to see Mr Chris in Reading.

I have finally done some videos which I have been meaning to do for a while. I think all the BLW the last few days has rather gone to Edward's head and he has now decided he's too grown up to be fed. The only way to get any dinner down him was to load the spoon up and then let him put it in his mouth....though I feel the coating of food that everything got shows we still have some way to go with this.



Edward has been rolling and wriggling round the room for some time now, however this 'crawling practice' where he gets himself onto all fours has only been happening for about a week, I think it is a major indicator that true crawling is just around the corner and he looks ever so cute when he does it, though amusingly it also often looks like he is trying to hump things like a randy dog!

New Look

Breakfast - half a banana BLW and a yoghurt

Lunch - Mediterranean vegetables with baby rice (from a packet) fresh carrot puree, greek yoghurt with jam, two cracker bread and a rusk!!

Supper - Apple puree and porridge followed by a yoghurt

Good day today, Edward had lots of fun pretending to be Davros in his walker commanding Daleks and naughty parents about the room!

As you may have already noticed, after some rather hairy moments when all useful editing buttons disappeared, I have managed to give Edward's blog a new 'foody' look and I'm feeling rather proud of myself for doing so.... comments on a postcard please :o)

Noodle flinging and Laptops

Breakfast - Half a banana BLW

Lunch - Didn't want any had a VERY long afternoon nap instead!

Supper - Carrot, Chicken and Mash 1 cube of each followed by a yoghurt and finally some Marmite toast BLW

Late Second Supper with Mummy and Daddy - Stiry Fry of sugar snap peas, capsicum, pork and noodles.


Edward has had a good day today he's been trying REALLY hard to crawl and managed to pull himself along the length of the sofa....all in the quest to reach the laptop...BEASTIE!!

Edward's late second supper was a naughty lazy packet sauce stir-fry so I sucked all of that off and he had it quite plain. He really enjoyed the pork and sucked on that for ages, he also had quite alot of fun with the noodles, I'm not convinced he ate any of them, but he did manage to fling them across the table and the very hungry caterpillar got a mouthful!

Baby Led Weaning FTW!!

Edward cheering his own mischievous mess making!!
(I particularly like the small piece of mushroom stuck on his head hehe!)

Breakfast - Banana and Pear BLW

Lunch - Parsnip, Carrot, Banana, Mushroom and Strawberry....and a cracker as he kept eyeing up mine! BLW

Supper- Muesli and Apple puree

We went rather hard-core BLW today, especially at lunch I really wanted to offer Edward a range of things and let him pick what he thought looked or smelt most tasty. He spread it everywhere and had lots of fun, the strawberry and the mushroom were the most successful things on the table, the strawberry initially got shoved in whole though sadly I didn't get a piccie of it.

Edward did did very well at manipulating the food, especially as a lot of it was slippery. It is always hard to judge how much he ate, however at breakfast looking at the pile of mush left behind I would say he ate the most part of a pear and half a banana.

In the evening though we went back to the safety of puree it's not as amusing to watch, but it is a lot easier to clean up after!
