I wasn't quick enough to get this completely recorded for posterity. This tray is actually his second installment of quesadilla pieces. (And yes, he has multiple quesadilla pieces shoved in his mouth - perhaps three. I wasn't watching closely.)
This is the remainder of the food (pears, peas, quesadilla pieces & yogurt) ... of which he ate almost all of it. I think he actually only had some peas left over. :)
And then for you inquiring minds, this is a typical day's food:
breakfast
1/2 banana
1 medium-size grapefruit (whole thing, minus the extra juice)
1-2 strawberries
~1 1/3 package of instant oatmeal (a 2-1 combo of regular and apple/cinnamon)
sips of whole milk
chased with a handful of Cheerios or cut-up waffles
lunch
1 slice sandwich meat (turkey) or 2 meatballs or 2 silver dollar-sized slices of ham
1/2 sweet potato or ~1/3cup cooked peas (not much variety in the veggie department)
1/4 - 1/2 pear
1/2 cup plain pasta or more macaroni and cheese or 1 slice whole wheat bread
1/2-1 oz cut cheese: monterry jack, colby jack, cheddar or havarti
sips of whole milk (sometimes gulps)
afternoon snack
8oz whole milk and/or ~3/4 cup whole yogurt (fruit yogurt mixed with plain)
dinner
This is often very similar to lunch, just in a different configuration of items.
However, a current favorite item is: chicken & cheese quesadilla (the size of 1/4 a large tortilla). To this we'll add pears, peas and milk.
Recently we've been able to get him to eat just what we were having for dinner. There was no special meal made up for him. I don't generally cook things that translate well for him, especially since our main vegetable is a green salad. But I made a chicken and rice cassarole with cheddar cheese, carrots and ... peas. He generally does not like to mix his food. He will go around the high chair tray and stack up like things, but not dissimilar things. However, he ate the casserole - a lot of it. I realize it's a small thing, but we were pretty excited. :)
