7 mos, Time for solids?

it's quite funny, actually, when he crawls around the house and finds an occasional whole chili pepper. his eyes get red and watery and big and he comes straight over for some milk to soothe the burn. i feel bad laughing but it is so obviously what happens to me too! no harm done.

but even spicy things are fine - my baby LOVES his spicy thai and indian food - he just asks to nurse in the middle of meals

-mine, too. Loves green chiles, salsa eggs, & jalapeno hummus. my very traditionally thinking in-laws are always amazed that he can eat almost whatever we eat.

we tried purees for about 2 days. way too much effort! he started playing with boiled mashed butternut squash & sweet potatoes around 5 months, actually eating it around 6 & now at 7.5 months can eat raw apples (has two bottom teeth), loves lasagna, yogurt, rice, pancakes, well, pretty much anything we eat. you'd be surprised at what they can gum down. the only thing he's refused was boiled carrots but loves them raw. if i'm not sure he can manage it, i try to mash it with my tongue to see how well it mushes. if it won't mush, feels dry or too hard to swallow, he doesn't get it.
