We have moved from just the rice and porridge to now having porridge in the morning, and now lunch which we have just recently added in- and she has had boiled eggs which she loves also. Dinner is potato of some form with a few different vegetables plus we have tasted yoghurt's. She really loves her food which is great-not too fussy yet anyway!. I was a bit stuck for ideas on lunches so I bought the Ellas kitchen first foods book and have prepped a few of the recipes-they are all super straightforward and easy to make. I have cooked up a batch of leeks, potato and cheese and a batch of sweet potatoe and red peppers. I love making new foods for her to try and love to see her reactions and how excited she gets when she sees her little plate coming. She is still taking her milk although is refusing more of it as time goes on-but I use the remainder milk for her rice/porridge so I don't worry too much if she doesn't want to take the bottle.
The health visitor was out and weighed Aoibhin so we are now 17lbs3 and she is more than happy with what we are doing-I plan to add in meats after month 7 and look forward to making a few more recipes from Ellas kitchen book. I am still using the Tommee Tippee steamer/blender and love it. I have also introduced the 'sippy cup' with water just to let her get used to holding it and her coordination-we have had a few tipping he water all over our clothes situations! .
We haven't added any finger foods into the mix yet (other than rusks very occasionally) but intend to soon just to allow her to get used to it - but for now I enjoy our meal times together so will continue doing what I am doing!
