So, Lainey really isn't a fan of baby food. At all. In fact, I stress about it daily and really don't look forward to feeding her because all she does is cry, scream, and push away anything on a spoon. She will, however, eat mac 'n' cheese (baby food m'n'c that is). She is a fan of feeding herself what she can, but how much table food can I give an almost-7-month old? It's a battle, and I really think I'm over-stressing and over-thinking it, as usual. If anyone has any advice, let me know. It seems like we started out okay with foods but it's slowly gone downhill from there.
This picture was taken after an episode of mac 'n' cheese, and after I had wiped off her table. It was everywhere!!

Oh goodness! She has a mind of her own on what she will eat already...it get's better.
Everyone is a bit different on when their child should have table food. In the "natural" world babies eat table food when they are ready to eat. In the "gerber" world there is a step-by-step process. My rule is, if the baby can eat it without choking and it is not a food that is an allergy risk then go for it.
Also, their food likings do change. The rule of thumb is, offer a baby/child a new food at least 12 times.
Good luck!
Love the pics! A&G like frozen mixed veggies (well...cooked of course!), ham & cheese sandwiches (toasted and smooshed so that they can pick them up - and cut in tiny pieces...), peaches (it's hard to find them not sweetened, but you can thaw the frozen ones and cut them into tiny pieces - yet a bit slippery), goldfish, Baby Mum Mum (got that from Chichi...babyfood aisle - rice crackers)... Good luck!
