I'm in the same boat. DD will only eat baby food. She gags and throws up any adult food I give her. She will only eat yogurt.

DD is eating anything and everything - and she only has 2 teeth!

She eats pancakes or waffles for breakfast (she doesn't like eggs). The other day I made her french toast.

She eats pasta with meat sauce, mac & cheese, fish sticks or baby food for lunch. Her day care is wary of giving her anything harder than that to eat because of her teeth..

She usually has yogurt for a snack.

She has chicken or raviolis or pasta or whatever, really, for dinner. We still do give her baby food as well but it's usually given with regular table food because she got to a point about 2 months ago where she just didn't want the babyfood anymore.

Nina is pretty much eating everything. The only time I have problems feeding her is at breakfast. She hates breakfast. She eats what we eat. She stopped eating babyfood at around 8 months.

My DD is older (13 months) with the same teeth (4 top, 2 bottom) and she isn't all that crazy about table food. So far she eats sweet potatoes (in every form, chicken (sometimes), pasta, meatballs, waffles and grilled cheese.

I've tried scrambled eggs and hard boiled eggs. She doesn't like them either way. Next I'm going to try a cheese omelet. Then I give up with the eggs. DH hates them.

Honestly? Whatever we eat, DS gets but I understand this isn't the norm. He's a fantastic eater and has always shown more interest in our food than baby food. Sunday night he had shrimp fajitas (all diced up so he could pick it up and eat it, of course Chat Icon), when we're out I order him grilled cheese, chicken fingers (take the breading off), etc.

ETS: as good an eater as he is, he is NOT into eggs at all. But because he really does eat everything we let it go for now. Once every other week or so I try them again - I'm sure he'll eventually take to them.

ETS: He has four top teeth and 3.5 bottom teeth with two more bottom teeth on the way.

Dont worry I have people question my food choices for DS all the time when we are at parties or something - people question why he isnt on baby food, how many teeth he has, etc...but DS has been eating table food since 8 months, by 11 months he was rejecting almost everything except table food, occassionally I can get him to eat baby food veggies or fruit but I only have a 50% success rate there.

Anyway, some of DS's faves are meatballs, pastina in chicken broth, rice (any flavor), we recently started grilled cheese which he LOVES!

I would say just try giving her what you are eating, at this age they are becoming so aware of what is going on around them and they want what we have (for example last night DS had to have the pork chop on MY Plate, the one I was giving him wasnt good enough it had come directly from my plate and he watched me like a hawk). If its too tough for them to eat, throw it in the food processor but dont puree it just grind it up a bit. Also encourage self feeding, when DS is rejecting a food I cut it into peices he can handle and suddenly this is the best food ever.

GL!

ETA: I also keep the gerber microwave meals in the house for when DS can't eat what we are having and he loves them - the ravolis especially!

He still eats baby food- but he also likes:

cheese
any kind of bread
mac and cheese
pasta
pieces of chicken

I use the Beechnut "table time' microwave meals for toddlers too.
He loves cheerios as a snack

We now give him some table food- I just try to stay away from seasonings, and have not tried any fish yet.

He only has 2 bottom teeth, but he eats a combo of table and baby food. I use more baby food during theh week b/c it is easier to feed him when I get home late for work. I would feed him all table food, but i am too disorganized when I get home and he is starving.
