About a week or so ago, P decided he was ready for finger foods. He decided to tell us while my parents, husband and I were out grabbing a burger. Although he had just eaten, when our food came he went bonkers. We couldn't calm him down. In desperation, my father asked if he could give P a mandarin orange off my husband's salad. P went nuts. We ended up getting an entire side plate of oranges which he gobbled up. Point taken.
So we've been doing diced peaches, scrambled eggs, chopped broccoli and cauliflower and his normal puffs. He does great with them. It's perfect timing, because his 4 oz of purees was starting to leave him hungry, so 4 oz with some finger foods and he is good to go.
I'm trying to come up with more finger food ideas - so I'm up for any suggestions.
(we have the same sippy!) What a great eater!!! Truitt is just now to where he will eat 2oz 3 times a day. I have a lot of friends that will steam match stick cut veggies (squash, carrots, zuchini, etc) and offer those. When I was making T's applesauce I gave him some chunked steamed apples and he loved eating those!
