My new wellies

Josh:  A friend gave me my first pair of wellies, so now I am all prepared for rain.  Just in time for Spring.  Well I have some growing to do, so probably a good thing that it is currently all sunny outside!  I'm modelling them for you in my cool superhero suit:

Ah the joys of solids.

Cath:  Josh is just getting smarter.  These days we often end up having a friendly tug of war at mealtimes when Josh keeps grabbing the spoon (yet at the same time this is good that he wants to grab the spoon)... And to the point that I just have to laugh and accept that there will be no escape from messy mealtimes!  There seems to be no getting away from food smeared all over my hands, up my arms, sprayed on my face and on my clothes, food on the walls, floor, chair, table, Bumbo and as for Josh, well, Josh in a nice shade of butternut orange or beetroot pink is the general end product.... There is no doubt about it though - he looks so cute covered in all that goo I can't help but smile!

So far he has had baby rice, potato, sweet potato, butternut, baby marrow, lentils, carrot, parsnip, peas, beetroot, pear, apple, peach, banana (though not a lot much to Dave's relief), yoghurt, cream cheese, chicken, chopped tomatoes with onion, and even small pieces of avo, melon, strawberries, toast and one whole piece of tuna pasta.  Oh and Rooibos tea.  He especially loves pureed pear.  Mmm.

Here is Josh disguised in shades of butternut (note the soggy pieces of carrot in the bib's pouch - a back-fired attempt at finger food):
