Solid Foods - UPDATE!

So we've come a long way from several months ago when I was struggling to get my baby (now 9 months old) to eat solid foods. She loves her food now! A friend suggested I try mixing everything together - cereal, veggie & fruit - sounds disgusting I know - but it worked! She's been eating great now for the past 2 1/2 months or so. She has moved onto puffs and Cheerios as well as drinking water from a sippy cup. She is in food envy in that she is very interested in what the rest of us are eating and wants to try some. I let her try tiny bites of things here and there to give her a taste but still a little nervous about letting her try other fingers food at this pointing. Soon enough!!
