Cass, yes as Barb said both egg white and egg yolk are now considered fine for babies without a family allergy history, from 6 months. Even peanuts - but not whole nuts due to the chokng risk - again it's different if there is a family history of allergy.

I know what you mean too - DS2 had everything earlier than DS1 because he just grabbed things from his brother's plate (or hand!) and ate them!!
