Baby Led Weening

My 7 month old has an EXTREME gag reflex. Anytime I try to give anything outside of milk or SUPER pureed, he gags and throws up as soon as it hits the back of his throat to swallow. This is my second child, my first son could eat like a champ. I could give him things like avocados, bananas, eggs cut into strips, etc. and he would be fine. He had the usual gagging to try to chew and swallow his food but nothing that was this intense as my second born. My second born even throws up and gags when I tried to give him unsweetened applesauce, so it seems like anything with any sort of texture, causes him to gag and throw up. I really liked doing baby Led Weening with my oldest because it made it easier if we went out to restaurants and he could just eat off my plate instead of having to remember to bring jarred food.

Is there any advice for this? Should I call my doctor about this or is it just something some kids go through? Is there something I could do to help him build more of a tolerance so he isn't throwing up every time he eats something?

Star Wars pun Help!

I am creating a father's day handprint for my Husband. He absolutely loves star wars, but I don't know much about it. For our first sons father's day, I made his handprint into Yoda and put "Yoda best dad". This is our Second son's first father's day with him. I made his hand into Darth Vader but I have no idea what pun I should put on there. Please help!

Magic story: I love you dad custom book

I'm thinking about getting my husband one of those custom made books that creates a personal story for a parent and their child. I've seen Wonderbly and I love how they let you preview the book before you buy it. The Magic Story (My Little hero) website, doesn't. It just shows you what the cover would look like. Has someone ordered one and would be willing to share what it looks like and what the story the book tells?
