Watermelon is awesome too! DS is 8.5 mo, and he also likes shoveling cottage cheese into his mouth (messy though), strawberries, and salmon/tilapia.

My son loved blueberries, raspberries, steamed stalks of asparagus, corn wheels (corn on the cob cut into 1-inch sections), watermelon, figs, little pinches of sticky rice, steamed stalks of broccoli, and bites of banana. By 11 months, we gave him boxed mac n' cheese, bites of meatballs or chicken apple sausage (casings removed), grape halves, black olive slices soaked overnight in water to remove the salt content, bites of scrambled egg, and french fries or sweet potato fries.

My daughter is not quite 8 months, and we've been venturing into the world of table food. My kiddo loves food, has a decent pincer grip, and is all about feeding herself, so we're just going with it.

We do a lot of avocado, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, tortellini, rotini, and spaghetti, black beans, grated cheddar and mozzarella, strawberries, watermelon, pineapple, baked cod, and shredded chicken. She does best with small, bite sized, extra soft pieces. I try to give her what we're eating within reason, but some meals are better for this. I try to always have some steamed veggies, grated cheese, and tortellini ready to go to supplement whatever we're eating.

My 9m old has no teeth and has always eaten table foods, she has basically had no purées. Her fave things:
-steamed/roasted carrots, yams, broccoli, pan fried zucchini
-strawberries cut into big chunks (halves), squished blueberries, orange smiles with the skin still on, raspberries
-kamut puffs, toast cut into strips with PB/hummus
-pasta with butter
-grated cheddar cheese
