BLW and a weekend away.

We went away this weekend to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. It was great to get away from the city, breathe some clean air and go for country walks. We stayed in the same B&B where we honeymooned 6 years ago, only this time around we had two children with us and therefore the experience was somewhat different.
When T was six months old, a weekend away used to mean taking jars of babyfood with us. And whether at home or away, mealtimes always meant spooning mush into a reluctant baby's mouth while our own dinner went cold. Not any more! At breakfast time B sat in his highchair and munched away on buttered toast along with the rest of the family. We ate out in pubs (much more pleasant places to eat since the smoking ban) and B sat chewing on whatever he could manage from our plates - cucumber, bread, broccoli, carrots, the odd chip. I can honestly say he didn't show dislike for any food. No jars, no spoon feeding, and none of those tedious "train going into the tunnel" games to try to get the baby to open his mouth.
