So far, Alex's cullinary repertoire includes rice cereal, oatmeal, rice cakes, cheerios, bananas, pears, apples, sweet potatoes, avacado (well, kinda) and, believe it or not, navy beans (as part of a "super porridge" complete protein cereal Claudia made for the boys today). He likes to feed himself -- he really goes to town on the rice cakes -- but is even pretty darn coordinated with the spoon. I just load it up and give it to him. A little messy, yes, but not too bad, especially considering he's just (barely) 7 months old.
He's definitely a sweet potato man, as evidenced by these pictures (this was also his first night in the high chair rather than the booster).
