Solids (seven months old)

Since Samuel was five months old, we've been starting him on foods other than breast milk. First it was fresh-squeezed fruit juices--papaya, pear, apple, and grape were big hits. So far so good.

Now that he's older, we've been trying to get Samuel sold on the idea of solid foods, starting with pureed fruits and vegetables. Exhibit A: squash--see for yourself whether you think baby is buying this.
