When to move to Stage 2 baby food?

DS has been doing great and eating lots of stage 1 carrots, squash, green beans, sweet potatoes, and every now and then I throw in bananas or other fruits. When is it time to upgrade to stage 2 foods? I suppose I could ask the pedi at his 6 month appointment in a days, but just curious what others have done.

    I went to stage 2 around 6 months.  I make my own though, so this just meant that I made things a little coarser and introduced different items and spices.

    If you buy purees, the main difference in stage two is that it often mixes one or more types of fruits/veges.  If he has tried all of stage one with no problems, I see no reason not to move to stage two.

    I think Gerber calls stage 1 "Supported Sitter" and Stage 2 "Sitter". Stage 3 is "Crawler". That helped us decide here.

    Thanks ladies. I get so excited over little things these days. For example, I can't wait to go to Target and buy new foods and organize them in the kitchen cabinet. I.am.lame.

    Our pedi said once they go through all of the Stage 1's with no problems it's okay to move to stage 2.

     stage 1 and stage 2 are pretty much the same texture as far as the puree goes, it's just that stage 2 is bigger jars and mixes of things. she said not to do the meats till 7 months, but we were in no rush for that anyway. i pretty much started making my own around that time and haven't looked back since....still use the stage 2 fruits for breakfast though. they are yummy :)
