I feel like Henry's eating the same thing all the time...any new yummy suggestions? We don't have any teeth yet, so that kind of limits things:
Breakfast - cereal or waffles, yogurt
Lunch - bread, cheese, veggie/fruit purees (I'm making them a little chunkier now), pieces of steamed veggies
Dinner - Similar to dinner, just different combinations
I'm hoping it bothers me more than it bothers Henry, but I'd like to offer more options and broaden his palette a little.
Re: 10 Month Old Meal Suggestions
Having no teeth really doesn't limit you much (at least not any more than anyone else). Babies mash food with their back gums. If you think about it, you chew with molars, and most kids don't get those until closer to 18 months.
We do pieces of soft ripe fruit (pears,peaches, nectarines, grapes cut into small pieces, melon), noodles, small pieces of meat. She pretty much gets what we eat for dinner.

I agree with pp about the teeth thing - DS only has his front 2 bottom teeth, but doesn't use them at all for chewing.
Foods I give DS:
Breakfast - toast, waffles, pancakes, fruit chunks, yogurt, egg yolk (scrambled, hard boiled, omelet), cheerios
Lunch - pasta with sauce, grilled cheese sandwich, tuna, chicken, quessadilla, left overs from dinner, fruit chunks
Dinner - usually whatever we're having - salmon, casserole, pork, chicken, rice, veggies, etc
What I do for DD:
Breakfast - Oatmeal with fruit puree, toast, waffles, pancakes, banana (its the only fruit she will eat at this point), yogurt, scrambled eggs, cheerios (cheerios mixed with yogurt is great to teach self feeding with a spoon because they can be successful!)
Lunch - Chicken nuggets, wraps (tortilla spread with cream cheese with meat, lettuce or other veggies, and cheese on the inside, wrapped and cut up), pasta with light sauce, grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, chicken, quesadillas, left overs from dinner, mac n cheese, avocado or jelly spread on toast.
Dinner - Whatever we're having - Chicken, casseroles, rice, veggies, tacos, chili, etc...
Hope this helps!
we haven't branched out a ton but here's what we do
breakfast: oatmeal with fruit puree, diced fruit, yogurt, cheerios (various combos)
lunch: oatmeal with fruit puree, bread, cheese, diced fruit, diced cooked veggies, yogurt, cheerios
dinner: pasta, diced cooked chicken, diced cooked veggies, bread
snacks: puffs, yogurt melts, cheerios, mum mums, teething biscuits, veggies, fruits
in the next couple weeks im gonna start adding some light sauces or seasonings , pancakes, cream cheese, cottage cheese, bagel
