raising hunter

Today I gave Hunter tofu...you heard me, tofu! He cut it up in little pieces, he didn't like it like that so I took a spoonful and dipped it in applesauce...he gobbled it right up. Applesauce seems to be my little trick I have discovered...I have been trying hard lately to get him to eat thicker and chunkier food than just pureed baby food. I also gave him vegetables with turkey baby food, it was quite a bit chunkier than he is normally use to. He gagged with the first few bites, so I dipped it in applesauce and he ate it no problem! What's up with that? I don't get it..Oh well, I'm just happy to be getting some new foods in his tummy and not just stage 1 baby foods. Hmm what to try tomorrow??
