Weaning Diaries // Week 12

Florence rode in a Trolley for the first time!

This week I tried to offer Florence some more interesting things for lunch. I feel like my lunches are lacking so I am trying harder to provide more varied meals for her. Florence had her first taste of an Omelette which went down very well! She had previously tried scrambled egg and hated it, that could be because I completely blitz it and it would have bounced off of the walls if you threw it hard enough...! We also tried Cheese on Toast and Scrambled Egg (again!). The last time she tried Scrambled Egg was five weeks ago during Week 7, so a fair while ago. This time I was brave and I didn't cook it for quite as long, but I did make sure that the egg was thoroughly cooked through. She seemed to enjoy it a little more this time around which is good news.

While shopping at Tesco, I found this great little packets of fruit which are currently on offer, 3 packs for £2.50. I managed to pick up some Melon, Pineapple, Watermelon, and Mango fingers. I usually buy whole fruits as they tend to work out cheaper, but they also get wasted a lot of the time. Especially Watermelon and Pineapples, they're so big and we never manage to eat a whole one. So I think these little packets of prepared fruit are perfect for Florence. They are large chunks so she can hold them easily, and they are also ripe and soft so are ready to eat as soon as you get them home. I always seem to buy fruit that isn't ripe and then by the time I remember to cut it up it's turned.
