Max joined the world of omnivores today and had his first taste of meat!  Pureed chicken and kumara was on the menu for lunch and dispatched with gusto Not only was it his first meat but also the first food with any real texture and didn’t worry him in the least.

I think think is where his shit really starts to stink………….

PS: My interview at the agency the other day went really well and the client wants to set up a phone interview – yay!  I’m not getting my hopes up as the requirements and my skillset don’t match up exactly but, hey, this is two steps further than I’ve got before

Max had his first “I’m so tired I could just keel over where I am” moment today He was sitting up in his cot and Vic went to get a cloth to wipe his hands (he’d just been a tiny bit sick) and when she came back he was fast asleep like this! LOL!

Max must be a big boy now because he has his very own high chair.

Poor wee man looks lost in it!

Vic and Max are back! much yayness

It was very interesting while they were away, because we’ve spent so much time together over the last few months I had really started to take them for granted.  I was quite surprised by how much I missed them 🙁 They were only 30 mins away and the longest that I went without seeing them was about 48 hours but even so………….

And in Max news he visited the Plunket nurse today for general checkup and we discovered that he now weighs in at 19lbs exactly! He is at about the 90th percentile in most measurements so he might end up being a big lad (although you can’t tell much at this stage

He has now also tried three different solid foods (well four if you count baby rice)

? Kumara (a NZ native sweet potato) – yummy

? Butternut pumpkin – yummy too (also a good face mask!)

? Carrot – not too sure about this one yet……….

And yes his pooh is changing in consistency and colour (bright orange!)

This is what happens when Dad feeds Max his pumpkin In all honesty he is really good at feeding and almost never spits his food out – this happened because he had Mum, Dad and both Grandmothers around him when he was feeding and was a little bit distracted. He turned his head just as I was moving in and this was the result
