RE: Finger foods for 6+ month old baby???
Cheerios is the traditional first finger food, but we didn't have a lot of luck w/ that early on, they really need a pincer grasp (thumb and first finger) for that. We had a little more luck w/ soft stuff cut in strips that he could palm and manipulate so he could suck on the end sticking out of his palm. I think we did tofu cut in a strip, steamed baby carrots cut vertically, steamed or sauteed zucchini. And crackers and teething biscuits once they can really chew. But you can keep offering cheerios or something similar, since Sammy was pretty content to try to pick those up for a while before he could actually get them in his mouth.
