Om nom nom

In amongst all this activity, Juliet has quietly gone about the business of starting solids.  She is a champion eater.  It has been so much fun to cook for her as she has gobbled down everything that has been set before her.

We are up to pureed casseroles at lunchtime now, so apart from the 2.30pm bottle, she's basically on three meals a day, which makes life much more pleasant.  I've found it much easier than with Alice, since I've been at home in my own kitchen and also because I got started on making vegetable purees about 2 weeks before Juliet started eating them so I had a big selection ready to go.

Finger food has been slower going, although she did devour a rusk (healthy Australian style, rather than Farleys sugar-coma inducing) yesterday.  I'm still trying toast and Philadelphia in the mornings.  She's not impressed:

I find it quite odd that literally anything and everything else goes into her mouth, but toast and pieces of carrot are strenuously resisted.  Still, the rusk gave me hope (and a whole pile of washing as it went everywhere) so I'll persevere.  I can't believe she'll hold out for long.

She's also a big fan of water.  Give her her sippy cup to hold at lunchtime and she'll giggle and shriek in an excitement usually reserved for when she catches sight of Alice.
