Thanks for your suggestions, I have foiund a few things that he really enjoys, but even still one day he'll eat it and the next he won't. I also found a great cookbook that has a lot of suggestions my other book didn't have, so that's helped a lot. One of the thignshe really enjoys is banana slices sauteed in a little butter and cinnamon for 2 minutes and then add 2 TBSP orange juice and suatee that for 2 minutes and then mush it. BIt hit! He does feed himself with cherrios and and chex, he'll it steamed carrot sticks occassionally, and he recently loves cheddar cheese, so we are making progress. Typically if he doesn't like it he just drops it on the floor. Unfortunately I don't want to risk just rying and if he doesn't eat ending the meal because he is recently waking in the night with his tummy growling. Anyway, thanks!
