I just looked in your gallery and he is a cute baby!

If you are giving him Tropicana apple juice, you can try serving him half juice and half water. My kids drank juice mixed with water until they were four or five years old. Apple juice is basically empty calories, but this allows them a little without giving them excessive numbers of empty calories.

In my opinion, Cheerios are a reasonably healthy snack. They have some whole grain in them and almost no sugar -- 1 gram per serving (and that is an adult size serving). As long as you buy the plain Cheerios (not Honey Nut or anything like that) they are not sugar coated.

You may find that in a couple of months he just stops eating. At my son's first Thanksgiving he was 10 months old and I remember that he ate everything. At his second Thanksgiving, a year later, he ate almost nothing -- a few bites of turkey and that was it. Once kids' growth slows down (which is does after the first year) and they get active, they often lose interest in eating.
