That's great you little one is wanting table food:) When my DD was about 9-10 months I fed her pretty much everything I ate as well. I bought one of those handy little food grinders with the manual crank ($9 at Walgren's). I could put almost anything in it like spaghetti, stir-fry, chicken, hamburger, etc. then I just put it on a plate or in a bowl and let her eat it with her hands:) Once she got to be a little more coordinated I gave her those little take 'n' toss forks & spoons. She's always been VERY self-sufficient, so letting her go for it (mess and all!) worked way better than me trying to spoon it to her because she usually ate it all.
