So we have been introducing solids to the baby...and it has been interesting.
I am making all the food myself. Not because I am a real granola crunchy kinda girl...but because I can't read the labels on the baby food around here. And I am not sure about how her stomach will handle different brands/systems...
That might sound silly, but I am not willing to take the chance.
Especially, since she is spitting up a bit with new foods sometimes...mainly carrots or harder veggies...I think it might be a matter of preparation. We also seem to not be working well with oats. We are working on it.
But she has just progressed to three meals a day...usually:
breakfast: rice cereal in the morning with banana or pears
lunch: rice and veggies
dinner: rice, veggies and usually a fruit.
The veggies we've tackled and like: peas, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini.
Fruits: pears and bananas
Not our favorite: sweet potatoes and peaches.
I hope to tackle soon: apples, squash, potatoes, berries...
What do you suggest?
Also, we looking to start finger foods. Cdubs is getting much better and is showing signs of being a leftie with her pincher grasp.
She also has developed new skills: getting to table top, sitting up, drinking from a straw, and giving high five.

High-fives?! Awesome!!
Bar madness continues today... almost done.
Awesome!
Frozen (thawed) mixed veggies make GREAT finger foods.
Little pieces of bread, too!
I can't believe she is already such a big girl! We usually did chunks of banana for finger foods. Cheerios and little tiny cubes of cheese were favorites too!
I don't know if you can get it...but avocado is a great starter food!
And, we totally skipped most of the grains. The girls weren't fans.
Also, give yogurt a try...my girls LOVED that!
