We tried out a veggie dhal recipe this week which was really tasty and had a bit of a spicy tingle to it. Clara enjoyed this one so it was a good introduction to foods with slightly stronger flavours. Apparently, the flavour of my milk changes depending on what I have eaten so to be fair I guess she is probably already used to more flavours than we realise! We also gave her some roasted sweet potato wedges which were part of our dinner and she enjoyed holding and chomping on these.

We made a bit more of an effort to go out for food this week too. It is a great way for Clara to get used to busy environments and is a lovely way for us to spend time together as a family. We went to Toby Carvery on Friday night, and also made the most of the good weather and went to Priory Farm garden centre for lunch on the Sunday. Clara really enjoys sitting at the table with us in restaurants and I even gave her a little bit of my roast potato so that she could join in with our meal. The wafers that she has been having occasionally have been invaluable for meals out too as they keep her entertained and happy for a good fifteen minutes which is very handy when our food arrives! These have become a great addition to the going out bag for last-minute snacks on the go, especially if our plans end up suddenly changing.
