Hi all,

Jess - on the walking!! lol at the blue icing. Oliver had blue on his cake but no green poos here!! Oh for what it's worth I got very emotional too when Oliver's birthday was approaching and I'm not even preg! Just a big sooky la la. Hope you are feeling well.

Megan - Oliver would like to think he can feed himself too. I give finger food as much as possible but when I can't I will give him a spoon and dip it in whatever he is having, and this distracts him a bit while I get 'my' spoonful in his mouth!

Jan - Regarding the breastfeeding, 5 feeds a day for a 12 month old is fine!! Oliver is having about the same but I have noticed in the last few days that the ones during the day are very quick and more of a snack then a proper feed. I'm happy to keep going for another 6 months at least. Well done I say!

Food wise, I am happy to say that I have a very good eater. He pretty much eats anything I put in front of him. So a typical day for us would be:
Breakfast - 2 weetbix or a piece of toast plus fruit - he is loving strawberries atm.
Lunch - either a sandwhich, soup, vegies and meat plus fruit.
Dinner - usually some vegies and cheese an hour before we eat and then a small plate of whatever we are having.
Snacks are usually fruit, crackers, cheese. I am not giving yoghurt or custard because he throws up after eating them, not sure why, but have to ask doctor about it when I go next. He is still demand bfed but I offer a cup of cows milk with his lunch but he is not a real fan of it. Might have to look into adding some other foods that are high in calcium.

I haven't had his 12 month check-up yet because he is teething and getting temps so I will wait until that settles down. Weight wise I don't think he would have reached 9kg yet. He is only a little man, surprisingly really because he does eat a LOT!

Well I am off to mother's group today, looking forward to getting out, so I best be off.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BAYLIEGH!!!!!
