What Georgie ate

    This has been a very good week regarding eating. There’s fresh summer produce at our local organic market on a regular basis and Georgie has been diving in. Stealing a cucumber or tomato, at said market, is now both acceptable and welcomed, so I’m happy. Here’s what’s been on the little dude’s menu over the past few days.   Waffles, bought at Lidl, organic blueberry yoghurt and organic strawberries for breakfast.   Organic fish fingers and tartare sauce. He wasn’t too keen on the tartare sauce but he did make a point of using it to cover his entire face, as usual.    Cous cous with tomatoes and feta and tons of olive oil and lemon.    Tofu hot dogs in a bun and avocado. P.S He ate the hot dogs and gave the bun to the dog.     Raisin bread with butter, cheese and cut up cherries.

   I will forever remember our pediatrician telling us that Georgie was special. I know. She probably says that to everyone but I really do believe her every time she tells us he is progressing and developing at a speedy rate. He’s always been a busy bee. Full of life and energy. That curiosity he had, demonstrating it at only days old when he would lift his head off my shoulder- i am not exaggerating-, he still possesses. It’s inspiring and amazing to watch.

learning about food

    Just like me, I’m guessing you too spend a lot of time in the supermarket checking labels and trying to remember figures and statistics. It’s horribly depressing and frustrating especially when all you have to worry about is the health of your kid! I wish I could say Georgie eats nothing but fresh produce. No canned stuff. Nothing that contains ingredients I can’t even pronounce. But I would be lying – shamelessly hang of head. He loves these caramel waffle biscuits- organic, naturally- and a lollipop – a nail-biter half an hour- every now and then so i would hate to restrict him to just fruit as a snack when he’s on the go.

Food, let's play, on our island

shopping, eating, playing…ah, the life!

    First, thank God papa convinced me to get an iPhone. I am on fire on Instagram – even if it is only for my 15 followers. Boohoo- and having so much fun documenting Georgie’s life even MORE! Over the past three days we’ve done more shopping than will ever be admitted, gawked over these super cool mini ducks, ate a delicious homemade organic beef bolognese, cottage cheese with canned pineapples- which are not as bad as I thought- and messed around with our jumbo pot of chalk. Aside from the chalk breaking into a gazillion pieces, I can’t really complain. Having great music in the background helped take off the edge.    oh and we also took our new pink pram for a walk……..

let's play, on our island

two days. two parks.

     You have no idea how insanely hot it is right now. The veranda tiles were so scorching hot today I couldn’t even step out without some sort of protection. I worry about my arm, being exposed when I’m driving. I worry about my face turning into a sack of wrinkles. I worry about the wobbly parts on my body. I worry about not eating enough fruit. But you know what? When I’m outdoors with my baby running around, exploring and taking it all in, I don’t worry. It’s like I’m seeing the world as a brand new place. The park? Wow! So many trees, so many birds!!! The beach? wOW! Water!
