12 month old still on baby food

I agree that he needs to eat what we eat but at the same time there will be some items that the other kids eat that he wont be able to. I do this with my other small boy so they will both get the same things. I did buy 3 jars of chunky baby food (cost me $3) so it wasn't a big issue. It will just be more of an option AFTER the other food has been served and once it is gone that is it. I don't think it is fair to the poor kid to just go straight from puree to solids. I didn't do that with my own child I certainly wouldn't do it with him. He needs to gradually get solids. I know the parents are on board so that helps. They told me is previous daycare was not (one of the reasons they left). So far so good. Crackers and cheese for morning snack and he ate all of it by himself. He is drinking milk out of his sippy cup too. I won't give him a bottle anymore.
