A successful day for Art today, and I’m pretty sure he’s actually swallowed some food. Oh, and on that note, turns out he definitely got some carrot in him yesterday judging by his nappy this morning 
Lunch : Omelette and cucumber sticks
He didn’t have any breakfast, but for lunch he had watercress, tomato, carrot and onion omelette and cucumber sticks. The cucumber sticks were a huge success and he seemed to enjoy squishing the omelette too.
Makes me realise that he needs his sticks a lot longer than I’ve been making them, perhaps, though with the cucumber (skin left on) being so solid, it was easier for him to keep hold of.
Dinner : Fishcakes with sticks of sweet potato, celeriac, carrot and cucumber
With the exception of some chilli dipping sauce and watercress, we all ate the same dinner tonight.
We had tuna fishauges, which were nice and squishy, alongside nice long sticks of boiled celeriac, sweet potato and carrot, and raw sticks of cucumber and a tomato quartered (with seeds).
Well, he at least tried every single thing, and quite a lot made it into his mouth and it looked like a fair few bits were swallowed too! It’s so interesting watching his ability develop so much at each mealtime. He was taking big squishy handfuls of fishcake and getting it to his mouth, then having a good gnaw on his cucumber and learnt that if he stuck his fingers into the tomato on the seed side, he could get a grip and lift it more easily to his mouth.
What was remarkable was that he was in a very grizzly mood (had been all day) and we expected it not to go very well, it was also a little later than we usually eat, but as soon as the food was put on his tray he was straight onto it and happy as Larry.
