Oooh, something else to add - some children like cooked food, others raw. DS will come and "help" me cook by eating any raw onion and garlic he can get. He was screaming for raw butternut squash the other night... and ate it raw. He will have raw brocolli but not cooked.

I usually wedge his apples now, but he still goes in my bag to grab MY apple and eats half of it even with the skin.

Don't over-react to every cough. My mother does and DS will look at her and cough the second he goes in his high-chair now, and it takes AGES to get him out this habit after every visit.
