We did spaghetti with DD and I was amazed by 7.5 months was sucking it up like a pro. I don't change anything at all, just whatever we are having because have found if the more effort I put into making it suitable for them the less they like it, if DH cooks they always eat it and he never thinks of them when cooking, if I make something in particular because think they will like it, they are never as keen.
