Ideas for crunchy snacks for an almost one-year old?

My son recently went bananas over celery as well! We were at a restaurant and someone had buffalo wings and i let him munch on the celery stick... well my husband did. I would of thought it wasn't safe, lol. My son is 9 months and has his 4 front teeth totally grown in. He did great with the celery stick! I was surprised. My son also loves the CRUNCH.. I've been trying to figure out more for now. You could always steam some carrot sticks so they are softer... I know what you mean about the starchy foods. I've been trying to avoid it mostly... just so easy to fall into the trap of doing mostly them for snacks. Melon also worked well for my son. The cantaloupe had a little crunchy kick to it. Watermelon I imagine would be great for it! Can't wait till they are in season soon!! My son also has been eating plums. I hold a whole plum for him and he sinks his little teeth in and bites some off. I found he loves to eat it without me cutting it up at all when possible. I let him bite on apple slices a few times when I was having some myself.. but without molars I can't give those to him yet unless they are steamed. Anyways.. hope this helped!! If you find more good ideas please send them my way! :-)
