Food Review No. 2!

So Michael has decided he wants me to tell you all about the foods he is enjoying at the moment! 

Heinz Organic Biscoti: He loves these! He has been eating the apple flavoured ones and scoffs them down, however, they do make a mess. 

Heinz Fruit Custard Pots: We have only recently bought him these but he adores them! They come in apple & pear or banana, he's only tried apple & pear so far but he has eaten basically the entire pot... both times!

Chips: I know I know, they aren't the best thing but I want to try him with everything I can to try and get him used to all kinds of taste and textures, and as you can probably guess, he likes them! 

Toast: He has been eating half a slice of toast for breakfast and he loves it, he has been eating Hovis 50/50 with a bit of butter on it and he thinks t's great! 

Fruit Smoothie: I know this is a drink not food but Michael really enjoyed this when we made it. It included strawberries, black grapes, raspberries, 1 banana, 1 pot of Greek style yoghurt (low fat) and a bit of ice cream, just to make it unhealthy!

Green Beans: When (over) cooked, to make them soft he loves them, and they're a great food for him to feed himself, which he loves to do.

Barney Bears: To be perfectly honest I'm not sure if he actually likes to eat these or just crumble them up in his hands, either way they are a good snack and again getting him used to different textures.

Though to be honest, he will eat anything he picks up! It all goes straight into his mouth, unless it's something we want him to eat! Then it has to be inspected, he is a funny baby :)

Birthday Wishlist

So it's my birthday soon and my sister Lauren suggested I do a wish list, because apparently I'm slightly interesting.

1. Acrylic/Gel nail set - I want this because I have decided I want to learn how to do nails, as when I do go back to work I don't want to be limited to the skills I already have, especially as I will have been unemployed for more than 1 year!

2. Manicure Set - I know you're thinking 'how obvious' but if I want to do nails a decent manicure set (to me) is essential.

3. Nail Dryer - This isn't something which is a necessity but I want one because it will make doing nails quicker, especially if I am doing patterns.

4. Perfume - There's no proper reason for this one just that I have run out of perfume and would really like some more.

5. Haircut! - I already know I'm getting this one but I thought I'd include it anyway. I know it doesn't seem like such a big thing to the most of you reading this but I haven't had my hair done for 2 years! Somewhere between being skint and having a baby my hair has been forgotten about. I will do a post showing before and after so you all know I'm not fibbing, though you will have to wait for 2 weeks!

So that's it, I don't really want or need anything else. However, dependent on what I get I will do a review on the products, just in case anyone is interested.

Teething, Tantrums & Clinginess

So as you will be aware I haven't done a post for a couple of weeks, this is due to the fact that Michael has been a poorly little pumpkin.

Me and my partner awoke one morning to see that Michael had developed a weird rash on his tummy and on the back of his neck, we put cream on it and waited to see if it would go. We checked him again the morning after and it was the same (getting worse) so we rang the doctors to get him checked over, he had gotten Scarlet Fever (from god knows where) so we were given antibiotics for him to get rid of it. After one day of him being on antibiotics we noticed a bit of white on his gum and realised it was a tooth coming through! We were both really impressed with him, he were being quite well behaved considering he weren't very well and he had cut a tooth, which we were none the wiser about, and then it started... Constant crying whenever he weren't with me, he could be sat in front of me and would cry until I picked him up, nothing would help, he wouldn't get distracted by toys or the TV, it was driving me insane!

I had sympathy obviously, he is a baby and wasn't very well, but he wouldn't go to anyone without bursting into tears, he wouldn't even go to his daddy, it was exhausting!

Anyway we carried on giving him his medicine (which was a trial in itself) and tried to keep him happy, when it came last few days of him taking his medicine we noticed that he was getting another tooth, right next to the first one, my immediate thought was great, breastfeeding isn't hard enough! Which I was correct about because the little monkey has made it so I need to use cream because my nipples were cracking, which I am guessing was due to the fact my precious son likes to bite when he's decided he's had enough.

Thank god he's better! He's currently sat in his jumperoo screeching like a mad man, I would love to know what he's shouting about.
