BAHAHAHAHA
I was reading your posts while mashing up some yam for B (I've been making food ahead, so far I have carrot, sweet potato, pumkin...butternut, QLD blue and jap, avocado, apple and I am currently doing yam...themn potato...then swede...thanks for the suggestions OP, and finally if there is time pees and brocolli) Anyway, I was mashing away at the yam and went to squeeze in some breast milk and I had one stream go horribly awry and it squirted all over my computer screen quite a good spray too, had it dripping off all of your posts...cracked me up.

Anyway....

Delph - sorry to hear about the agrument with DH. I think OP's suggestion is a goodone. Let him learn by trial and error. At the moment carrying her around all the time is probably a novelty to him. But I suspect he'll get over that, either as she gets heavier, or as he finds it harder to do things that NEED to be done. Perhaps as well you could suggest that he sit on the floor with her and play with her toys...so she's kinda on his lap....a bit of a half way in betwee compromise??

OP - I can't beleive I didn't think of potato! Especially since it's one of my all time FAVOURITE foods. I can make just about anything out of potato!.....mmmmmm potato fudge....that would be really yummy....and completely ruin my weight loss!

Emma - Tat's so funny about T with your cat. Defnitely sounds like h ow B is with my dogs. They've recently learned to LOVE solid food time. All three of time line up and wait for us to finish so they can lick him clean Glad you liked the pictures of B. I just put one up of him with a 'real' santa (I HAD to find one with a real beard...)

AFU - B had decided he likes avocado now. After my first disasterous trial with it (barely getting a spoonful in) I mixed a batch up and was very heavy handed with the EBM. Well he LOVED it! He's also now eating two ice cube blocks of food for every meal I was only giving him one, but the other night he kept reaching for the spoon and container it was in and when I put them away he started to cry, so I got out another cube and he devoured it.....this is after having taken both breasts as well I am begining to think he's going to have his father's appetite
