What are the best first foods for an 8-month-old baby?

8 month old babies by now would be able to grab their food pretty well and put it in their mouths. Typically, the foods should ideal be bite size, soft and and nothing too hard and small that might cause the baby to choke. Here's a sample menu that my friend came up with. You can view her other baby menus under the #NadyaNomNomNom and they are delicious! I tried some myself and loved it. https://www.instagram.com/p/8KM84wLTH6/
