Calleigh's Menu: 12 Months

The time has finally come where Daddy and I get our table back. Good bye steriliser! Goodbye bottle's. Hello sitting down and eating meals together again.

Now Calleigh is a year old, pretty much anything goes. She eats what we eat, when we eat, 3 times a day.

For breakfast she is now on 2 Weetabix and a slice of toast (piggy).

We have tried her with Lot's of new food's for dinner, these include Chicken Fingers, Pizza, Brussels and other veg, Egg Mayonnaise, Tuna, Gammon and countless other things. She pretty much eats whatever you give her, although sometimes a bit funny with it at first.

I think her favourite foods are potato and beans.

She hasn't quite been able to get her head round a fork yet and just stabs at her food like a crazy person then throws it on the floor and goes in with her fingers instead.

Hopefully we will get there soon.

I was going to put some more photo's on from my iPhone but I accidentally deleted them all without copying or backing my phone up.

So now I am just going to have a little cry at my stupidity and all my lost photo's of beans :-(

Meeting Santa (Sort of)

On Sunday Mee-Maw took Calleigh and I to Westfield Centre in Derby so Calleigh could meet Santa and get a little present from him.

We got our time slot but still had an hour to kill so decided to do some browsing. Calleigh fell in love with a new cat teddy so of course we persuaded Mee-Maw to buy it for her. It actually freaks me out a bit, It's got massive eyes!

After a lovely black forest hot chocolate in Costa it was time for us to go back and meet Santa.

There wasn't a long wait, just enough time to get some pictures of the grotto.

You will notice that there are no actual photo's of Calleigh meeting Santa below, this is because as soon as we entered and she caught sight of Santa she burst into tears and actually started shaking a little with fear. Who knew Santa was so scary. Poor Calleigh.

"Oooooooh"

Love for the freaky cat

If you do want to see Calleigh with Santa there is a photo of her with him on a previous post when she went with Nanna and Grandad.

While I'm here I would also like to say a big thank you to Charlotte from CharlottesWeb for my new blog design. Love it :-)

Brush-Baby Dental Wipes Review

At 12 months old, Calleigh has finally cut her first two teeth (Better late than never).

Teething has not been too bad so far, there have been a few days when she has not been herself but overall I think she is handling it pretty well.

As the teeth are not fully through yet, I don't want to go ramming a toothbrush in her mouth so after searching around I found Brush-Baby on twitter and ordered myself two packs of their Dental wipes and a Chewable Toothbrush/Teether.

The Dental Wipes are suitable from 0-16 months and it is recommended on their website that you should start wiping babies gums and teeth early to protect against decay in the early years.
They come in handy finger sleeves which you just slip onto you finger and wipe around inside your little ones mouth and gums. They are also banana flavoured so your baby can enjoy the taste too, Calleigh tries to eat my finger when I'm doing it.
These are only £2.95 for a pack of 12 on the Brush-Baby website which is a very reasonable price for what you get.

Whilst browsing the website I also found a chewable toothbrush. I haven't started using this yet, but it looks really good for those first teeth and to give your baby some independence by brushing their own teeth. It also works as a teether to sooth gums and teething pains.
