We spent our honeymoon in the St Raphael Guest House... It was lovely, walking distance to the town... Very clean and lovely friendly owners... Right by the museum gardens where the squirrels come right up to you for nuts

Scruffy, I hope your cousin and her children are OK xx

Caz, you shouldn't be embarrassed if it works for you!

Some birthday photies... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=227221&id=540180659&l=fb6a9f9e46

Thank you!

Haha, just by way of random experimentation, I plopped Finn into his highchair and tried to give him a bit of the apple I was eating (just my own curiosity to see how interested he is in food). Nope - he was FAR more interested in chewing on his bib/fingers/fist/mommy's fingers than the apple or, later, banana! I'm in no rush and clearly neither is he :cool:.

(pssst, I've made a proper page about weezl's project on FB so you can all become fans and share if you so please - I see a lot of you already have!)

What we used to do with Benjamin was to sit him at the table with us when we were eating and give him a whole peeled carrot to suck on. No danger of him eating any (and mostly he just had a suck and then waved it at us) but it gave him a taste for something other than milk and, more importantly, got him involved in mealtimes and sitting at the table.

Yeah, I need to work at that, as all 3 of my (our) mealtimes are when he's sleeping! (during the 2 day naps and he's in bed before I eat dinner ). Like the whole carrot idea...think it would be better to stay in his fists than batons. He has sucked on bread before, but loses interest quickly. Ah well, no rush in the least (I was just having a bit of fun), my only goal is to have him on a little bit of food by the time we go away in July but even that's not a big deal.

Yay for sitting up Evie!!

I love the name Evie, that was on the girls name list but she became Lily instead

For our next girl we have Amelia, and for a boy Jasper

Are you looking at a BLW approach? If so I think him seeing you eat food is an important part....so you may need to adjust your habits for a while. If he never sees anyone eating how will he know that it is a natural thing to do?

As you say, there is no rush at all. He will do it in his own sweet time.

We eat dinner after Benjamin has gone to bed too, but when we are at home we eat breakfast and lunch together.

!!!!!!?!

Someone just messaged me about a dress I'm selling "is it a big 8 or a smlle 8?"

It's a 6. It says so in the TITLE.

LOL SS - she doesn't need to be able to read to have good taste!!


Not long to go now EA!!!


Can I ask the ones with older babies - at what point would you start buying baby their own meal when you go out to eat?

At the moment if we go out for lunch I take Benjamin a sandwich which he eats whilst we wait and then he eats some of ours when it comes. There is no reason why he couldn't eat a kids meal...just that he wouldn't eat much of it. We are going out for dinner at CP's (at 6pm LOL) and I wondered if I would be expected to buy him a meal.

MFD why not buy a side dish for him if they have mixed veg or something similar?

MFD I'd probably just buy and extra side of something, then all share.
