Day 3 started with G popping back in the middle of her 4 days off for Chinese New Year to tackle the chaos she somehow knew would be awaiting her (psychic G). Proud mum me was keen to show her The Boy's new talent so set him up with another banana and some raspberries.
Not his most impressive demonstration of eating! Getting the banana from tray to mouth proved as tricky as before and apparently we're just not a fan of raspberries.
G said all the right things but I suspect she secretly thinks mum is a bit mad.
It being Valentines Day DH cooked Chicken Mole, an interesting spicy dish of chilli, chocolate and... chicken.
As we were unsure of how he would receive this exotic fare The Boy had broccoli and mashed potato.
He clearly enjoyed the mashed potato and weirdly loved, loved, loved the broccoli - seriously chewed it, sucked it, spat it out, ate it, swallowed it, smooshed it, ate some more.
Hats off to all the people on the blw forums who say babies love broccoli, I didn't believe you and I was wrong!
Then, as a sort of encore because the Mole turned out not to be crazy spicy I gave him some of the sauce with some rice (no chicken yet though) and he loved that too.
Not many babies can say they had Chicken Mole and Rice as one of their first meals... well except in Mexico I guess. Not many in Hong Kong certainly.
