Bouncy Bouncy

A bad weather day in the north atlantic. We were heaving(lowest to highest point) about 25 meters. on top of that it was snowing on and off all day so it was very cold, Very very cold.

I spray painted these plant troughs my sister had given me and gave them to Rachel with some bulbs and gardening stuff

This is us planting the bulbs in the new troughs

Food glorious food

So Caleb reached 6 months and was ready to start soild food, we started with the mush most babies have to start, butternut did not go down too badly.

Occasionally other things were more interesting

Then after a trip to the health visitor and some reading on the internet we started a more baby lead eating approach which suggests that babies should feed themselves even at this young age. I still do supplement with some mush but mostly he feeds himself. He seems dead chuffed with the idea and this is his first attempt with feeding himself - bread sticks and humous (his new favourite food)

Broccoli

Rachel signing 'eating' to Caleb

Pizza
Melon

But the winner is still bread sticks with humous
