His vitamin drops

I sneak nutritional yeast, tofu, vitamin drops, flax seed, and wheat germ into his foods daily for the extra vitamins and protein. I also serve his LOVE foods in between bites of his NOT like foods. That usually tricks him into eating it all. He will eat an occasional peach slice on his own, but does not like it pureed. Avocado was his 1st food so I was sad when he stopped liking it. Avocado is so good for a baby-healthy fats for brain development! He could eat sweet potatoes and mangoes all day long if I let him. He will probably turn orange soon. I mix his nasty tasting vitamin drops (Poly-Vi-Sol) into mangoes and he takes them every time. He turns 9 mths on Sunday. So next month I will be introducing legumes into his super porridge, spinach, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and maybe cooked onion. I am still abiding by the Super Baby Food book. According to that book he is still a little behind on the amount of food he is eating, but he still nurses up to 5 times a day.

We go to the doctor on Thursday for his 9 mth check up! He will have blood work to check iron levels and I'll post his stats!
