Florence led weaning...

I cant remember quite when or where I first heard about BLW but after reading up on the approach, I decided that BLW was for me, and truly plumpscious of course!
During my pregnancy with Florence I discovered MUCH had changed, sometimes a little radically and at times what seemed a little ridiculously, from when I had carried and reared my two other children. Suddenly there were hundreds of 'must have' little gadgets that it appeared I simply couldn't live without (nor could my as yet unborn child), even though I had done so before. Conversely, so many things were no longer available or deemed safe that my other two had adored or I had indeed found indispensible. Along with the new toys and gadgets I found many of the rules of baby rearing had changed too, most noticibly the guidelines surrounding weaning.
After the arrival of Florence, I found my ears ringing with the many, MANY different opinions on baby weaning and as such found myself searching out the rationale behind the 'guidelines'. It was here I must have stumbled across BLW.
So after devouring all the literature I could find (not a lot-see my links) I decided that BLW was the way to go.
Wish me luck...

Pancakes, Pesto, Pizza and Pineapple

Pancake day came and went and even Florence joined in the celebrations. Mummy bought some pancake shaker mix which turned out to be more appropriate for scotch pancakes but nonetheless it still went down and Florrie enjoyed extra thick pancakes minus the lemon and sugar.



Next day Plumpscious had visitors. Lula and Tilda came to play; or should we say Lula came to perform. Fun was had all round; Florence just watched as Tilda and Lula played happily (and on occasion not so happily) with Florence's toys and made themselves familiar with the bookshelves, coffee table, kitchen cupboards, upstairs and anything else they could find. Tilda and Florence tucked into homemade pesto and spinach pizza. Lula had other ideas, mainly practising her sad/happy/cute/crazy faces for her captivated audience. Tilda also very generously shared her fruit pot with Plumpscious, of which she was very grateful. Mummy was in domestic goddess guise (as opposed to the usual domestic slut mode) and threw together homemade tasty pizza for Tilda and Lula's Mummies, but they got a little stuck to the greaseproof paper. Sorry ladies (mental note NOT to buy ASDA greaseproof paper) hope the yummy cabernet sauvignon compensated!



Dinner time brought houmous and carrot again (new favourite) and pudding was a new taste sensation- pineapple. And a very warm reception it was given too. Florence is still singing about it as I type. Yum yum yummy.



P.S. We have a second tooth!
