Holiday in Dorset

We went for a short holiday last week in the caravan, staying near Lyme Regis. We celebrated Lucy's half birthday while we were away. We visited Weymouth one day & caught up with Paula & Rich, meeting Jessica, their little girl.



It was a blustery few days & we were very relieved to come home with our awning intact as others on our campsite we not so fortunate.

Lucy's first week on solids

At the beginning of this week we made the decision to start Lucy on solids. She will be 6months old next week (where has that gone!?!?) so it was near enough...

Despite what the picture may appear to show we didn't start with veg...milky baby rice is proving a success on 2nd attempt...pureed apple & pear gave mixed results & I don't know if any was swallowed .

Steamed carrot seems to be a hit...not all of it came back out & it was very amusing watching her suck on it.

As for the broccoli....

...it was good for playing with...

...for distracting Lucy so we could get the spoon in her mouth without the hands getting in the way...

...for bashing with her cup...

...& for flying through the air.

None went in but hey! It's all messy fun.
