What are your 5 months olds eating? (Solids)

What solids are your 5 month olds eating?  And how much and how often?  We're still on rice cereal and rice cereal with apples, and I think we're ready to move on to other things.

    Ri eats cereal in the morning (however much oatmeal it takes to get to a mushy consistency with 2 oz of formula), 2-5 oz of fruit in the afternoon and 5-7.5 oz of veggie in the evening.  Between she has her bottles which vary from 4oz to 8oz.

    What she eats:  Oatmeal, apples, bananas, peaches, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, string beans, and squash.  The only thing she will not eat is rice cereal and prunes.  LOVES everything else.

    We have just started with sweet potatoes the last few evenings, he actually ate some last night! Not sure what we will try next. He has literally only had a few very small bites of sweet potatoes and thats it so far.

    We've done bananas, rice cereal, avocado, sweet potatoes and oatmeal.  We usually do about 2-3 ounces I would guess and we feed him solids anywhere from 1-3 times a day depending on his attitude/schedule and whatnot.  We really just started in the last couple of weeks so we aren't crazy about things yet but I am trying for three times a day.

    Parker eats- oatmeal, butternut and acorn squash, avacado, sweet potatos, carrots, green beans, apples, pears and as of today banana. We do solids twice a day oatmeal, a fruit and a veggie morning and night. Sometimes it's two veggies, just depends!!

    He's still learning to swallow: so far rice, oatmeal, and barley wheat grain mixture from Earth's Best.  3x each.  Watching for food allergies b/c of hubbies family so taking it slowly.  Next, will be veggies, then fruits.  No corn products until at least 1 year to be on the safe side.

    DD hated both rice cereal and oatmeal, so we bypassed those altogether. So far, she has had squash, sweet potatoes, pears, and bananas. She has scarfed all of them down with no problem at all, unlike the cereals, which made her cry.
