Same here.  She nibbled, mostly on teething crackers and such much earlier
but didnt really take to solids til about 9 months.  Before then they were
just 'interesting bits'.

KIds are so very different from one another on this!  Charlotte still had a
supplimental bottle til she was near 18 months (used the older kid formulas
by then) but that was at least partly due to the Doc saying she was 'tall for
her age' and a bit underweight so to keep up the bottles plus the regular
food.

Yup!  I was so worried about her talking, then later got grief on her potty
training from a daycare place because at 24 months she was in diapers still.

Oh that place was a bad one.  I took her out after 1 day.  They took a 2 YO
who'd not been on a swingset yet (and were told so in advance), allowed her
to be knocked over by a 4 YO boy then stuck her in a room all by herself to
look out the window (crying her eyes out at the other kids playing) until I
got there.  Sheesh.

I found another place 2 days later and it was a good one.
