Xavier's first Christmas

 

Wakey wakey Elf Xavier!! 

Yesterday (25/12/13) was my boys first Christmas! We had a Christmas morning snooze until 09.30am!! 

After breakfast we opened our presents from Santa! Things got a bit boring for Elf Xavier!! 

In the early afternoon we went to dinner at nanny and grandad Noo Noo's (Craig's mom & dads) 

Things got a bit boring there too according to our little Elf!! 

We did more visiting off to nanny & grandad Daly's! 

My parents had brought Xavier so many old school toys! He was eggstaic (cheese joke) with his broken eggs!!! 

The elf disappeared and along came a sleepy Tigger. 

Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Our first home

December 7th 2013 cannot come quick enough for me!! We will be handed our keys for our first ever home! 

 

No house share, nobody telling us what's for dinner, nobody moaning at me for using the washing machine (how else am I meant to wash baby clothes) no mother or father in law hogging the TV remote, nobody interfering with Xavier's bedtime routine! 

Somewhere that I can call home!  (For the last 3 years I've called the house I live in Craig's mums and I call my family home my mums! 

December 7th I'll be saying our home! My home, my house! 

Good things come to those who wait, we will be saving as much as we can whilst living here and trying to find Craig some permanent work so hopefully we can fulfil our dream of buying our own home but for now we will rent this two bedroom house!

Chicken sweet potato and apple baby food

I love seeing Xavier finish the food I feed him! Coming from a family that eats good hearty Irish meals I'm hoping to bring Xavier up the same! Although we will be having more than stew and potatoes!!

As Xavier is coming up to 6 months now I'm introducing more meaty dinners, in my local sainsburys I purchased Annabelle Karmels cook book 'introducing new flavours and textures. 

The first recipe I make is chicken sweet potatoe and apple. 

I added

1small onion 

2 small sweet potato'a

1 chicken breast

1 small apple

200mils in salted chicken stock

Cooked the onion 

Added the chicken

Added the potato and apple 

Poured over the chicken stock

Brought to the boil 

Simmered for 20mins

Blended 

Poured into the mould the put in the freezer!! 

Very easy to make and very tasty Xavier and his cousin Archie love it!!
