I gave little tiny pieces of roasted chicken to my 6 month old last night. She kept going "ummmm...." and kicking her legs!

I second avocado!

We currently have an avocado in the fridge to try giving DD. Also, you can get a ton more variety in purées than what you have done so far if you want her to just get a taste of some other foods that way. We also give DD a taste of anything soft/liquid that we are eating (mashed potatoes, gravy, sauces, dressings, soups etc.).

We buy them but here's some of the thing I've bought/fed that you might try to incorporate in yours: pumpkin, zucchini, mango, kiwi, apple, berries, green beans, carrot, spinach, yogurt, etc.

Do you have one of the books on making your own baby food? I know you can get books that have a bunch of recipes for different food combinations! We do a lot of purées with more than one food in them at this point.

A piece of toast.

Hummus was another early favorite.

Scrambled eggs (make an omelette and cut it into a stick she can pick up). DD has eaten pieces of most of our dinners, including the other night when we did corn/onion/zucchini/radish tacos, she ate everything. You can also add variety by stirring spices into her purees. For fruit purees, I stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and/or allspice. For vegetable purees, I add any combination of cumin, coriander, garlic powder, turmeric, sage, oregano, or a tiny bit of cayenne.
