Providing he has plenty of teeth, you can give anything that is healthy, avoid sugars and empty calories and sodas though!

Your son can pretty much eat anything now. Just be careful to only introduce one new food item every 3 or 4 days to look for allergies. Soft foods are good. If you want to feed him fresh fruits/veggies that are crisp/tougher...you'll want to chop it up really good/blend it/or mash it up.
You'll want to wait until your son is around 3 years old before introducing seafood and maybe peanuts if food allergies are common in the family.
Foods to Avoid
Although you can now start to offer some of the foods you've been withholding (milk, citrus fruits, whole eggs), watch for allergic reactions when offering any new food. Be sure to tell your child's doctor if a close family member has a food allergy, and you may want to delay introducing that food and those commonly associated with food allergies, such as peanuts and seafood. You may need to wait until your child is 2 or 3 years old to offer some foods, or the doctor may recommend allergy testing.
Avoid foods that could present choking hazards, like popcorn, hard candies, hot dogs, raw vegetables and hard fruits, whole grapes, raisins, and nuts. Supervise your child at all times when eating.

Why don't you try asking his grandmothers? They usually have a good idea.
The doctor will tell you, but my experience says not as well as the grandparents of the house.
My gyan culled from my grandparents:
1. Lots of dal and protein.
2. Fruits, and make it enjoyable - its a good habit that will stay with the kid all his life.
3. Depending on the season and the climate of the place.
I don't know where you stay, but in cold places, we insist on almonds during winter and soaked almonds during summers. Then there is a whole menu of seasonal TO-Dos in each season.

thing you need to avoid are choking risks.. things like grapes need to be cut lengthwise in half as they slide easily and are chockable size. Other dangerous foods are marshmellows and weiners... when they are heated (and the body is warm enought to heat them)... they expand. Cut weiners lengthwise in half until they are two at least. marshmellows should be smaller. Feed him meals.. and let him have snacks too. finger food are good. Rasins, cereal, cookies, peaches and nectarines are messy but good and teach them to chew as the feel 'fun' in the mouth, crackers in small peices, cheese, and such. For the meals though.. feed him regualr food with the rest of the familt.. just grind it up or cut it up real small.

Your baby can eat what you eat, on the same schedule that you eat; however, you should make sure to give him foods that are cut into small pieces so they are not a choking hazard.

Since everyone will have a different answer, just ask his doctor.
