First Christmas Part2

After brunch at home with the Foster's on Christmas Day, we went over to the Kloboucek's for a late lunch. So much food! There was pork, fish, and salads galore! Also lots of chocolate, dessert and nibbles. Jayden tried his first mango and loved it. Again lots of pressies and lots of pressies for Jayden. We stayed over so we could have a few drinks and didn't have to rush home to put Jayden to bed.

Boxing Day was just spent lounging around with the Kloboucek's and eating the many leftovers from the previous day.The Kloboucek family Christmas....

First Solid Food

Sorry for the delay since our last post. We started Jayden on solids after we got back from holidays in November. I have to say that he loves all the food we have tried so far - rice cereal, pumpkin, potato, green beans, carrot and zucchini. We have also given him banana, avocado & pear. I can't say that he is all that keen on avocado or banana but we will try again later with those. He is now on 3 small solids meals a day - breakfast lunch and dinner (plus formula). We have also given him rusks to chew on as his 2 bottom teeth are coming through.

He loves the highchair but is definitely impatient for food once he is put in the chair. Don't mess around with his food (takes after his father)!

He is definitely more interested in the solid food than formula. He is getting better at getting more into his mouth but I'm sure that will all change when he demands the spoon to feed himself. I will enjoy this relatively clean time!

Attempt 1 with rice cereal - I think some of it went in the mouth....

Bring on the food...

Mmm pumpkin....

First Christmas Part1

The Klobouceks had many Christmas celebrations starting on Christmas Eve when we had the Foster family over for drinks (and chinese takeaway - very xmas!). Mainly to open some presents (predominantly for Jayden) as we would be pushed for time fitting it all in on Christmas Day.

Christmas Day arrived nice and early for us as per usual Jayden was up for his early morning feed at 5am but went back down around 6.30am and gave us a little bit more time in bed! The Foster family arrived for brunch around 9.30am and we had a lovely meal of mini quiches, ham & cheese croissants, eggs benedict with smoked salmon or ham (or both!) and fruit salad with greek yoghurt. Lots to eat and lots of quality time spent with the little guy.

It has definitely changed Christmas Day for us. It was great to watch Jayden open all his pressies and have just as much fun playing with the ribbons and cardboxes that the toys came in.

We then went to lunch at the Klobouceks for the afternoon on Christmas Day (see next post).

Isn't this what you are supposed to do with the bon bons?

Or maybe this is.... No, that's just my father (boys did I get some weirdo genes!)

Out of all the pressies from Nanna & Pop, I think this one is the best. After all, I can fit in it!
