Jen - heaps of fruit as finger foods. For meal times I use pasta (the largish spirals, shells, etc) with some sauce and she still eats those with her fingers. Vegies in chunks she can hold (altho corn and peas were happily picked up with fingers as well) and meat in small pieces. Sausage cut up. Really, anything that can be easily picked up from the food we would normally eat.

For snacks, I sometimes give rice/corn cakes, but trying to stick to fresh food atm. There's a great simple savoury muffin recipe in that thread here (one can creamed corn, same can self-raising flour, same can grated cheese, mix it all up and pop it into the oven for 15 mins or so - voila! - can also add extras if you want) that was a big hit and is easy to transport. Avocado sandwiches. Dried fruit (sultanas esp). All in all though, I give her plenty of fruit and try to limit the snacks in the afternoon so she eats her dinner.

Glad the grommets went in okay and Tayneesha hasn't suffered much. Lucy has a boyfriend as well, Hunter, who she plays with two days a week (one day at our place and one day at his). They love each other and it's so cute, he'll go over and give her a cuddle and they toddle off and find things to do on their own (and if I haven't noticed them for a while it's definitely a bad sign!). They share their food and toys. Plenty of great photos of them in the bath together for when they're older! We joke that we're going to arrange their marriage for them (his mum is one of my best friends).

Kas - fingers crossed for the 18/19. Hope you're all packed up!
