Ethan Bear is doing very well with the weaning and can now feed himself peas and sultanas quite well. The other day we spent the whole day in Birmingham and he was very good helping himself to fish and chips and spaghetti bolognase from our plates in Wetherspoons. I had my mobile bag of treats and got him out a corn thin or oatcake too when he wanted a snack mid shop. The hardest part of the day was getting the train back home to Peterborough. It was fine at first as he was asleep when we got on but then he woke up and decided he wanted to explore the train. So I was crawling after him and trying to entertain him on my lap for an hour and a half. In the end I even got my bridesmaid headband out and put it on to make him laugh, the things we do to entertain our babies! I was so happy when we pulled into the station and I knew we would be back home soon. I really want to fly over to Oz in the next few years to see all my family out there (my Dad was Fijan) and it's made me realise the flight could be a major problem!
Unfortunately Ethan is teething a lot at the moment (6 teeth so far and counting) so when I breastfeed he is clamping his teeth shut around me very hard until he makes me squeal in pain. It's so hard, I want to keep feeding him until a year at least but the pain is making me dread feeding time.
Tonight we had pasta and bolognase (made with a tin of tomatoes, beef mince, carrot, onion and a bit of garlic and orgegano) for tea. It was simple, nourishing lovely food and Ethan Bear seemed quite happy with it too.
