Finger Foods

Over the last few weeks Anna has learned that she can feed herself. She loves eating bread, cheerios, mac & cheese, apple sauce, peaches, pears, pancakes, and french toast to name a few of her favorites. Back when she was eating just baby food I made sure that she got vegetables, fruits, and grains every day. Now that she is eating "real food" I'd like to keep up the good balance but I'm wondering what are some easy finger foods for a kid who only has one tooth. Any suggestions for healthy finger food type meals or things that we could give her?

On a side note, here are a few cute pictures of Anna and Devin playing.
They have tons of fun together as you can see.

Bananas, peas, corn (it looks the same coming out as it does going in, but my kids like it!), squash cooked and cut into cubes, peaches cut in small pieces, cooked carrots... basically pretty much everything she was eating as baby food can be done as real people food, you just have to cook and cut veggies, and make sure you get nice ripe fruit and cut it small.

I agree on the peas. Make it frozen peas defrosted. They aren't as mushy as canned.
