a palate develops

Oliver is having a great time with solid foods. He tried avocado over the weekend and it was a hit. So much so that we now have cubes of the stuff in our freezer. Avocado plus barley cereal plus breast milk equals some really wonky guacamole-ish slop. (Don't worry....we don't serve it to guests!)

Here are the foods Oliver has tried and enjoyed (meaning everything he's tried - nothing rejected yet):

Cereals:
oatmeal
barley
rice
multi-grain (contains oatmeal, rice and millet)

Veg:
sweet potato
carrots
winter squash
peas
green beans
zucchini
corn
avocado

Fruit:
apple
banana
pear
plum
blueberry
mango
kiwi
raspberry
apricot
avocado

Other:
yogurt
lentils
garbanzo beans
cheerios

Pincer grasp is coming along too. He practices daily with cheerios. We're going to have to branch out in that area soon. I'm thinking tofu. Any other suggestions?
