Good first foods - http://babyledweaning.blogware.com/blog/GettingStartedFingerFoodBasics/FingerFoodBasicsMonth1

Just some ideas for foods to start with. If you're wanting to avoid gluten before 6 months, good subs for bread are rice cakes and oatcakes.

SS - How quick are you!!!!!!!!

Right i have a hard task for you, if yo are up to it. For DS1 we are getting the xbox points, and a new xbox live subscription, both come to about £60.....I need some suggestions for DS2...doesn't have to exactly, but needs to be similar, in size, amount, type etc....I am stuck. was thinking maybe a magazine subscription or something along those lines.

Lily loves Philly sandwichs cut into small rectangles

I think i first tried her on strawberrys and soft(ish) shreddies. Then veg and yorkshire pudding.

Now she has everything we have

We have fajitas tonight so i will take some of the chicken out before making it spicy and she has chicken, sticks of pepper, sticks of cheese and some tortilla.

As it happens, Mel, I was just looking at stuff for 8 year old boys on Boots.com

For my nephews I was browsing at this, this, this, and this.

For magazine subscriptions, I have no idea. Do Lego have ones, and maybe a couple of kits of stuff he'll think is interesting?

speaking of tinned food, have you tried the reduced sugar/salt beans? they are VILE _pale_

I bought some by accident and they were disgusting. It was a multipack, so I had to use the rest up in casseroles as nobody would eat them on their own!

Website sounds good CAFC :cool:

Was putting some dried fruit to soak in some rum and Charlotte kept asking if she could taste the rum. I kept saying no, but she kept asking, so I said she could have a little sip thinking she'd pull a face. She swallowed it and said "mmm I like that. Can I have some in a cup?" :eek:

That potato clock looks interesting. We got ds1 some of the marvin stuff last year/year before also as he is the more sciencey one, i'm thinking of some of the blast lab sets for him this year as they are aged 10+

Tia - how old was ds1 when you got him the subscription?

Yeah, ds2 has a PS3 so may look into that...will look about see what others there are too.

I was thinking of an activity present, for them both...dunno what tho, or even if that is a good idea! I wish they didn't have everything already! Oh actually I should get the sims for the iphones and can put some credit on for them, they will be well chuffed.
