so the guys have decided they no longer want purees AT ALL..little buttheads swat the spoon constantly, or try to grab it to "feed themselves" we all three and the floor end up a mess after feeding time.?

they are still somewhat new at solid eating (only been eating consistently since 9 months), so they are still new at chewing ?and not choking on bigger pieces. I have been giving them pieces of banana or apples (the graduates jarred stuff) in the for breakfast (and yogurt, because they don't mind me feeding them that, because they LOVE it), but i really don't know what to do the rest of the meals..

the kicker..we think ronnie has a wheat allergy...our doc is making an appt at the allergist for him for testing, so we will figure all that out then. so... no pancakes, no grilled cheese, no bread at all (and i feed them together, so poor joey can't get them either)

so veggies, fruits, cheese.. which are best? how to prepare? how much to serve at once?

we are still on 24 ish oz of formula a day until at least 15 months, per pedi's recommendation..

THANK YOU SO MUCH.. we are going grocery shopping this eve, so this starts today! ?

    scrambled eggs, corn, peas, anything with ground beef (DS had crushed up meatballs last night), mac & cheese (there are some gluten free ones at the regular grocery store).  Strawberries, back chicken and put in food processor to get small enough to eat.  We do american cheese and just break off pieces and feed to DS.  Also mix shredded cheese into scrambled eggs.  There is chopped broccoli in the freezer section (very small) and there are only a few pieces we have found that need to be chopped more.  sweet potatoes

    what about meats?  like meatballs, obviously cut up or chicken.

    I was going to say little ravioli but probably have wheat in them huh.

    Poor Joey is missing out on all the bad carbs haha!

    Fruits like pears, peaches, etc. that come in the little cups with juice, peas, turkey hot dogs, string cheese, pieces of butternut squash, steamed carrots, blueberries, cut up grapes. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. GL.

    Small pieces of shredded chicken, ground turkey with pasta sauce, scrambled eggs with cheese, I also do grilled cheese but that won't work if they have an allergy.  S and H also LOVE cheese so that is great finger food.  Sweet Potato cut up into little cubes.
