Sounds about right Kim. When I was worried about what Jovie was eating or lack of variety etc, I spoke with the allergist who said, as long as she starts having 3 meals a day by 12 months not to worry... And he said for Jovie 3 meals of fruit mash is fine. LOL... so don't worry too much about variety and courseness of food yet. I wouldn't even think about giving Jovie finger foods yet, but Matilda at this age was eating only finger foods... different kids, different styles.

Things like cous cous, rice, polenta... the grains are really good to introduce, you can make them all really easy to eat and mix them with mashed veges and start that way too. Cous cous is just tiny pasta anyway... so in time you can do more. Oh! I almost forgot, Matilda's favourite snack used to be plain pasta cooked to death as a finger food. So she could pick it up & put it in her mouth... Jovie doesn't put anything into her mouth so that doesn't help LOL.
