Kay, your daughter sounds just like mine... mine's now 15 months old, and hasn't touched jarred baby food since she was around 10 months old. She's been eating directly off my plate since then. Some of her favorites now are green beans, sweet peas, meatloaf (I use lean hamburger meat, plus I drain off any grease), mac&cheese, au gratin potatoes, pork chops. I have to get 2 servings of everything because I have to feed her off my plate. She'll go to someone else's plate just to see what they have, she'll even take a bite or two but she always comes back to me. If I do try to eat something without sharing, she will do what I call the 'baby bird face'. She'll open her mouth up wide, say 'uh, uh' and stand there till I give her a bite. If I take too long with a bite, she'll actually point to her mouth as if I didn't see the baby bird face.
