Carrots I didn't give until he could chew... i can never cook them right, either too soggy or too hard so i was paranoid.

I started off with pear and umm toast mostly. Lots of avocado on toast. Creamed corn too. He would mostly lick the avocado off, gum the bread and spit it out, but he really enjoyed it. Banana and Kiwi Fruit is good because it is solid but they can mush it and gum it enough to make it a consistency for them to swallow. However I think nanas can make them a bit constipated. We did BLS with porridge too, which was hilarious (series of photos on FB), ummm also he always loved pasta. He now has the dexterity to eat a cob of corn on his own too, which is very cute.

I think the most enjoyable part of BLS, is that he enjoys it so much more when he is in control, and he eats far better then too. After maybe two months or so he would just eat off my plate... cheese, crackers, watermelon, vegemite sandwiches. It's hard to adjust to the thought of they're not "eating" but patience pays off. DS is so much better eater than my sisters, and they were pureed fed from 4 months... maybe coincidence, but who knows.
