I forgot to mention that last week or so, Claire has been busy making up various small pots of food for Jack and freezing them for when he needs them. When needed, she’s getting one small portion out of the freezer, zapping it in the microwave and it’s nearly ready in seconds!
Claire has been really busy buying lots of fresh fruit and vegetables (more than normal when talking about the fruit!!) such as sweet potatoes, broccoli, parsnips, etc. and then blending them down into a mushy sauce.
Yesterday for example, Jack had a small amount of sweet potato and broccoli mixed together, which made for an interesting colour of orange-with-green-bitty-mush scattered all over his face, arms, bib and table area, let alone Claire and myself for trying to feed it to him.
He seems to like it too, which is great; either that or he’s smiling at us congratulating him for having such stuff in his mouth and making it look like he likes them. He’s not spitting it out, lets put it that way. When he does, we simply scoop it off his face, bib and/or ceiling and serve it right back to him as if it’s fresh… he doesn’t seem to mind!!
By the way, Jack is still on his regular booby-juice as normal – this is an addition to that milk.
Today (Friday), he has had apple, again mushed to pieces, zapped and then served cold.
We have tried to record it on the video camera, and I’ll see if I can get a link on here to it maybe. (If not, the video feeds are definitely on Jack website, if you have access.)
But this is all a big credit to Claire – she’s been reading books and stuff online and busy doing mum-stuff too. I have literally helped in serving the stuff, whatever colour and smell, to Jack, but she has thought about each recipe and bought the stuff she needed and just did it. She’s a star.
