Baby Update and Coffee Cake!

So since we had our lovely baby in January, I have realized (probably more so than my wife) just how difficult parenthood is, very little going out, spare time is almost non-existant, certainly no more playstation time, or spare hours spent messing around on the PC, shockingly even very little time for the blog here.

Now instead, life is all divided up into bite size smalll chunks. All of which revolve around baby, and take place between his feeds, nappy changes and random sleeping patterns.

Thankfully though, there is still time to cook, to share, and to eat, and that monumental moment has now come to baby Sergios life where he will be baptized into that lifelong activity! Eating food!

To mark this occasion we decided to bake a coffee cake, well why not, cake is always good for a celebration. Was just a simple affair of  sugar, butter, a few eggs, self raising flour, baking powder, and a couple of tablespoons of strong espresso.

The bad news for Sergio, was that at all these ingredients were off-limits to a small baby, but it didn't stop him getting mighty excited to see it.

And the excitment continued, he was even pleased to pose for the camera (and no thats not a potty, its supposedly a special chair, thats good for his back)

 Sadly however, the excitment was short lived, the cake was taken away, for mummy and daddy to enjoy later, instead there was something else in store for his inaugural meal.

As can be seen he was less than impressed with the tasteless, colourless, odourless baby rice he was confronted with. "WTF is that, that ain't cake" .

However having Italian genes, he soon got the hang of eating, greediness, and making a mess, baby rice today, piles of pasta tomorrow (not literally, before social services come beating down our door).

Hopefully in the next few weeks, I can finally share some more recipes, but for now I hope this update was of some interest. And at least explains my abscence. :)
