Zachariah loves trying new foods, and prefers to feed himself rather than being fed.  Some of his favourite finger foods include
Apples
Avocados
Blueberries
Fruit leathers (perfect for diaper bag snacks!)
Grapes
Mangoes
Pasta
Peaches
Pears
Raisins
Watermelon
Things he likes so much he will actually deign to being fed are
Baked potato
Rice & veggies
and apparently oatmeal

1/3 cup oats
2.5 oz breastmilk
Throw in a few raisins
Sprinkle on a little cinnamon
Yum!
UPDATE:  I wasn't particularly pleased with the consistency of the oatmeal, so when I gave it to him a second time, I added some pureed prunes, and he seriously gobbled it up!
I also realised that I hadn't mentioned anything about drinking.  Zachariah likes to take sips of water from a big-person glass.  He still doesn't seem to know what to do with bottles or sippy cups at all.  Baby steps!  :)
