For the broccoli, we microwaved frozen florets so they would get a bit mushy. I had heard broccoli florets were a good first food because the stem makes for a good handle so it is easy for baby to hold on to. The florets are kind of a weird texture, though, and I'm not sure Maddox is a fan. We've given broccoli to him several nights and he doesn't seem too thrilled with them. He'll stick one in his mouth, start gumming the florets, then get a disgusted look on his face and throw it. It's too bad he doesn't care for it yet... broccoli is by far the cleanest food we've given him.
The next thing we tried was pear. It was nice and ripe, and very quickly turned into mashed up pear bits and juice. He loved it! We are pretty sure he ate more of the pear than he had anything else up to this point, but it was so messy! He was covered in pear, as was the highchair, tray, floor...
Last night we introduced carrots. This also seemed to be a hit and also extremely messy. We microwaved little baby carrots and then mushed them up. He seemed to really like it, but, like the pear, the carrot ended up all over him, the highchair, tray, floor...
We also gave him broccoli last night with his carrot, and tried to get a video of his disgusted response:
