Overcoming food issues

Well what I once thought may be a problem is no longer a lingering one...phew! At one point in E's short life, he was refusing solid foods and when he didn't refuse foods, he'd only eat about an ounce of it, if that. It was terribly worrisome for me because all his friends were eating 3-4 ounces at one sitting, and wanting more! Luckily Ev has come around and is now eating just about everything. He is not a fan of turkey though. If it's ground, forget it. If it's in little pieces, he will suck on it and then swallow what's left of it. Aside from not liking turkey, he has added carrots, cauliflower, blueberries, peaches, bread, goldfish crackers, and shredded cheese. I made the mistake of giving him mandarin oranges before reading that it is a forbidden food...oops! Now I see why! When I took him out of the carseat the same day I fed the oranges to him, he was soaked!! His digestive system must not have been made to handle it yet, it came out as orange water...lol...at least he smelled sweet :0) Hoping to try some cottage cheese and yogurt next week!
