Roasted sweet potato, steamed carrots, banana. One of my DDs first foods was broccoli - steamed very soft. She'd hold it like a tree & eat the ends.

Mum mums (rice rusks), cheerios, cooked green beans, well cooked matchstick carrots.
Mom to two amazing DDs ('07 & '09) and a fur baby.
Gluten free since Nov '11 after non-celiac gluten sensitive diagnosis. Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.

We did a lot of soft steamed veggies and fruits at this age
He really liked little quartered spears of banana, avocado slices, soft baked sweet potato coins, etc.
Wholesome babyfood is great and Smitten Kitchen also has some great stuff on her blog.

any soft ripe fruit--bananas, pears, watermelon, peaches, plums, nectarines.
If they are too slippery you can roll them in crushed cherrios first.~ deb

We started with mashed avocado on toast fingers. Mashed potatoes were also a favorite or sweet potatoes, cooked carrots....so many things. DS didn't like sweet things at first (fruit), so cooked/steamed veggies were our friend. Oh, broccoli...also a big hit at first.
