Hailey is kind of over baby food. Don't get me wrong, she'll eat it and we do sometimes still feed her the jarred baby food when we are having something that isn't very baby-friendly (like our tacos last night). However, she really prefers what we are having. If it comes off Mommy's fork or Hannah's plate, well that's just icing on the cake. Here is an example of her meals today. Notice all the big-girl things she is eating these days:
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with cheese and half a piece of dry toast
Snack: Blueberries
Lunch: Vegetable soup (just the vegis out of it, not the actual soup part), mandarin oranges, and a small piece of Mommy's toasted cheese and ham sandwhich
Snack: Yogurt melts and Cheerios
Dinner: Salmon, broccoli, and canned mixed peaches and pears
Obviously these are all things that Mommy doesn't necessarily have to feed her. Hailey likes to feed herself and I admit that it's nice not to have to try to hit her mouth with the spoon!
ETA: By the way, just so you don't think I'm massively over-feeding my baby, she only really gets a few bites of each of these things. She definitely stays within the 4oz or so that she would eat if it were baby food; she just likes the variety and feeding herself. :)

Wow! I can't believe she can eat all of that!
That's Great! Sam only wanted to eat Cheerios yesterday, but I think he doesn't want anything pureed because he can't breathe. You should See him look at Pizza. He can't wait. I think he hates that I take it so slow.
LOL well I should have specified that it's not like she's getting huge portions. I'd say she doesn't eat more than the 4-6oz that she would get by eating baby food, it's just spread out over "adult" food. Hailey was never big on the purees though (not that you could tell by looking at her). I'm glad that she is eating more solid foods since we are on our way to weaning at a year.
Give the baby what she wants! She's obviously thriving with what you're doing. :)
