8 month feeding - real fruits & veggies

DS loves real table food now
he still gets the jar, but I've been introducing a lot of real foods now

What can I give him at this age?
So far he's had-
banana
avocado - doesn't like this
steamed and cut up carrots
steamed and cut up celery
kidney bean
pieces of chicken


what other fruits and veggies can I introduce to him and how? I know certain fruits I can't offer b/c of allergies? Is that right? Like strawberries?
please advise
when can I introduce Yo Baby Yogurt?
My Ped said 9 months, but wondering why the wait?

Re: 8 month feeding - real fruits & veggies

DD will be 8 months old in a few days and she doesn't really like baby food so we've been givng her table foods. Mostly the same things that you mentioned but also tiny pieces of pancakes, peaches, peas and yogurt. I tired yogurt with DS at 6 months and he wasnt ready for it (he threw it up) and again at 7 months and he still wasn't ready, but at 9 months he did ok with it. DD on the other hand, is doing fine with yogurt since 7 months.
