She is 9 months old and is mostly eating all "real" food.
Anything she can pick up and put in her mouth. She is not a real big fan of the pureed stuff anymore, though she will eat it.
I have given her some stuff just wondering what else is good.
Things i have given her:
toast with butter and with jelly,
pancakes, french toast,
hamburger, chicken, cut up veggies(soft) cheerios, chicken noodles, all the gerber snacks, ravioli, hot dog(small pieces)
scrambled eggs(doc said okay)
what else can i give at this age that will be easy for her to pick up and eat?
also i read cheese but do you just use the big block cheese and cut into squares or string cheese or shredded?
THANKS so much in advance!!
btw-this is my 2nd baby but with my first she was in daycare 5 days/week for 2 out of 3 meals so they just fed her most things and then i knew it was okay =D

My daughter ate frozen, defrosted peas all the time, she really liked them. If you give her cheese, just cut it into pieces the same size as a cheerio or anything else. It's pretty soft, so it's not a huge choking risk. You can cut grapes or berries into quarters, so they're not round. Peaches or pears out of the can will be soft enough too.

My daughter is 8 months so I understand you, but most of all kids love colors, green beans, carrots, different types of fruits that color in it. You can even make a smoothie and put it in her cup. But you would wanna stay away from real sweet things because her teeth are still developing and you don't want to take away the calcium that's being placed in those tiny gums. Yogurt is a great snack with those Gerber banana cookies. For dinner buy the Gerber Tray's, they have all the food groups.

My elder daughter who is 3 and half now started eating baby food when she was 4 months old. I started her early as I was unable to breastfeed her. My second daughter started when she was 5/6 months. She breastfeed till she was 1 and half years along with having solid food.

My kids ate Kraft singles, just a slice of cheese or sometimes a slice or two of cheddar. They loved it.
At this age, there isn't anything you can't feed your baby, so long as she can chew it. I wouldn't feed her anything with hot peppers or lots of spices in it, but her digestive system can handle pretty much anything. Have you introduced her to french fries? My sister did that one day at Burger King. Handed my 8 mo daughter her first french fry. Of course, she loved it. And then my sister showed her KETCHUP. What fun! Tasty food, smear it around in red stuff and get it in the mouth. We needed to hose that child off when she was done. But her love affair with potatoes, any kind of potatoes, may never end.
Take care of your sweeties!

Try green beans, spaghetti noodles boiled with a little butter, bananas, cheerios. Little finger foods that are easy to eat are always good

Tried grilled cheese cut into triangels, spahgetti o's, chicken noddle soup, the meat sticks from gerber, noddles. I used most of these on my child, though he does not like pasta one bit.

My 9 months old's favorite foods are: Homemade mac and cheese, watermelon, mustard (just plain, I know it's weird), spicy bean dip, shredded cheese, lemons (he likes to suck on the slices I add to my water), anything chicken, strawberries dipped in whipped cream, spaghetti with sauce, and his all time favorite: vanilla yogurt with oatmeal mixed in (just before bed helps him sleep longer at night),

My son loved mac and cheese when he was that age. I gave him everything we ate just cut up. He liked the sliced cheese the best.

Take advantage of this age and give them lots of veggies right now they like peas and leafy greens better then cake and cookies,
