Dee - yeah, just when i think Jesse is doing well with his eating he goes all funny again, has only been the last 2 weeks, i thought it was because he has been sick....maybe not if everyone seems to be having probs as well hey ! .... There is no way Jesse could use utensils yet ... he wants to hold them though (i am the same with the mess lol) ... when i give the spoon to him with a little food on it, it ALWAYS ends up on the floor or Wall ... so don't see the point yet, he doesn't know what to do. DH is a bit of a clean freak ... & his eyes nearly pop out of his head when the food goes flying lol :eek: ... i have to relax him by saying - you have to get used to this, don't worry it will get cleaned up geez ! ....think he expects babies to know how to use feed themselves straight away lol !

Michelle - shoes look soooo cute don't they .... i have been lucky & have been given lots of hand me downs .... lots are good brands too like adidas & puma, which is really cool because i wouldn't have spent that much money to buy them myself. i have bought one pair because Jesse is in a size 4 - the only size i don't have lol !

Lesley - how annoying with the car breaking down .... at least it was only the battery & not something more expensive.

Angel - Jesse is not a big eater either .... he has increased his brekky though which is good ... first thing a b/f then he has 2 1/2 weet-bix now with a bit of pureed fruit
mixed in with cows milk. He doesn't normally have a morning tea because he gets up at about 8.30-9am (so if he gets up earlier i will give him a morning snack) ... lunch he will have a sandwhich - 3 squares now usually with cheese or jam for afternoon snack he will have a triangle cheese & later a yogurt then for dinner he has chicken or meat with vegies (atm not having very much of this) for desert he will have banana/Avocado mixed with a bit of yogurt (he loves this) then he will finish of with a bf before bed @ 8pm.

Well Tuesday night put the dinner on his tray while we ate dinner as well (first time) ... he was happily munching away hand feeding himself ... i was quite happy with the effort. Yesterday he hardly touched his dinner...gggrrrr but i suppose some days he will just be hungrier than others ... have to get over the mess too not worried to much about the floor - more the mess on himself ... he puts his hands in his hair, then he has food all stuck in it .... ! ... & he has it all on his clothes as well all mushed in ... will have to get one of those scoop bibs next i think lol !

Jesse is up to about 10 steps now .... he walks more with his shoes on i have noticed, only manages 6 steps without shoes.

Better go time to watch the Hooley Dooleys LOL !!!!!
