A lot of babies start to get sick of pureed food and they see our plates and want to eat what we're eating, it looks good to them.  That's a good sign.  So if your daughter is showing signs that she wants to eat what's on your plate then it's definitely okay to branch out a little bit and give her some different sorts of food as long as it's the appropriate size and texture and it's not going to be a choking hazard to her.  The American Academy of Pediatrics actually gives a sample diet for kids who are 8-12 months of age.  Once she's hit about eight months of age it's okay to give her the following things: mashed egg, I know you mentioned that specifically, diced soft fruits, diced cheese, diced cooked vegetables that are very soft, yogurt, cottage cheese, diced meat, teething biscuits, crackers, noodles, pasta, potatoes, and you also mentioned soup.  That would be good because the vegetables and the contents of soup are usually really tender.  That would be a great choice as long as it's not too hot.  Experiment with different things.  Give it about two to three days between each new introduction in case she has an allergic reaction to something and then you can more easily narrow it down.  All in all it sounds like she's probably getting ready for different kinds of food.  If you have any other questions for me feel free to ask them on our Facebook page and recommend us to your friends and family too.
