Have your tried the gerber puffs and wagon wheels - they melt away pretty quickly. also bannanns cut up, pretzals can be gummed, those hard thin italian breadsticks. pasta is pretty soft - mac n cheese ( i usually do homemade) hope this helps alittle

| we love peas! I boil frozen peas for like 5 minutes (like the bag directs) then i just slightly smush 'em with my fingers when i put 'em on her tray. My daughter also does well with toast , and sometimes I put a very thin coat of peanut butter on it. Before she had her front teeth, I'd tear it into bits for her, now she can pull it apart with her teeth herself. Also, sometimes, i just let my daughter have at it with a bowl of baby food. Most of it is thick enough that she can actually scoop it up with her fingers ... it's a huge mess, but she loves it.... and some of it makes it to the mouth! |

beans--slightly smush with your fingers and place in front of him
very small blueberries--same as above
grapes cut into small pieces
small pieces of chicken smooshed with your fingers
small pieces of deli turkey or ham
small piece of soft cheese
small pieces of ground beef
well cooked veggies cut up very small (Xavi loved zucchini, and broccoli tops)
boiled potato cut up into small pieces
strawberries cut up into small pieces
melon cut up into small pieces
banana cut up into small pieces
Are you with me? The possibilities are endless. |

| Wanted to add that all this is great for developing manual dexterity and pincer grasp. |
