Breakfast time has varied a bit, depending on when\/if Jessica has woken up and fed during the night, but has more often than not happened at 7am. Then the rest of the day&#8217;s meals have taken place at 10am, 1pm, 4pm and the last meal around 7pm at night (the latter depending on how soon Jessica gets tired in the evening &#8211; sometimes it&#8217;s more like 6.30pm).<\/p>\n<p>As far as the weaning is concerned, I&#8217;ve now been giving her bigger portions of the pureed stuff twice a day for 3-4 days now: at her 10 and 4 o&#8217;clock meals. I don&#8217;t want to give her too much just yet and have estimated the amount is about half a meal&#8217;s worth. She gets formula milk straight after to satisfy any remaining hunger. She&#8217;s very keen on banana, which obviously is incredibly easy to prepare. Think I now need to move on to some other fruit, like apple and mango.<\/p>\n<p>We think she might be teething &#8211; she likes chomping on our fingers and when she does we have felt something hard at the back on both sides of her bottom jaw. It&#8217;s apparently unusual that the molars break through first &#8211; more commonly the teeth at the front of the mouth are cut first &#8211; so perhaps they&#8217;re way off yet. But Jessica is dribbling a lot and seems obsessed with chomping on things; in fact, the first thing she&#8217;ll do now when she meets someone is to launch an attack against their hand, if she&#8217;s close enough, and start chewing away on their fingers.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica doesn&#8217;t seem to mind being on the floor too much anymore, which is handy as she otherwise wouldn&#8217;t get much practice rolling or crawling&#8230; Her second favourite pastime (next after chomping fingers, please see above) at the mo seems to be touching her toes and trying to bring them up to her mouth. She&#8217;s not quite there yet but is dedicating so much time to the task that I&#8217;m sure it won&#8217;t be long.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"touching-toes-1.jpg\" class=\"imagelink\" href=\"http:\/\/ianandgabriella.co.uk\/babyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/touching-toes-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"touching-toes-1.jpg\" id=\"image226\" src=\"http:\/\/ianandgabriella.co.uk\/babyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/touching-toes-1.thumbnail.jpg\" \/><\/a><a title=\"touching-toes-2.jpg\" class=\"imagelink\" href=\"http:\/\/ianandgabriella.co.uk\/babyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/touching-toes-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"touching-toes-2.jpg\" id=\"image225\" src=\"http:\/\/ianandgabriella.co.uk\/babyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/touching-toes-2.thumbnail.jpg\" \/><\/a><a title=\"doing-the-splits.jpg\" class=\"imagelink\" href=\"http:\/\/ianandgabriella.co.uk\/babyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/doing-the-splits.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"doing-the-splits.jpg\" id=\"image223\" src=\"http:\/\/ianandgabriella.co.uk\/babyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/doing-the-splits.thumbnail.jpg\" \/><\/a><a class=\"imagelink\" title=\"touching-toes-3.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/ianandgabriella.co.uk\/babyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/touching-toes-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image224\" alt=\"touching-toes-3.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/ianandgabriella.co.uk\/babyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/touching-toes-3.thumbnail.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gabriella<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somehow, in the last 2-3 weeks, we seem to have slipped into a regular feeding routine&#8230;!
