That is hilarious!!!!!

My lil guy was eating 80% table food by 12 mo. You can feed her whatever you are eating. If you know it is a new food (fish, nuts, etc) just wach for signs of allergy in the couple hours afterward. Now is the time to introduce new foods, textures and sizes!

My 10-month-old's first solid food was dog hair.

After that, we tried a few purees (mango and peach were liked; chicken was not) but he was more interested in the spoon than in the food. I wondered if he would ever actually want to eat...until one day, he grabbed a handful of pulled pork off my plate and chowed down.

He likes hummus, too. And yellow curry, even a bit spicy.

We started my DS on table food, too.  When he was a baby he used to love spicy food.  I remember at about 13 months we were at a Christmas party with these really spicy samosas that hardly anyone would eat and he was chowing down.  Now, at 5 1/2, he won't touch anything even remotely spicy and he's super, super picky.
