have you tried yoghurt? Either the natural yoghurt, or I give DD Jalna plain yoghurt. I started offering it to her at about the same age your bub is now. She loves it and you can mix fruit into it (either mash up fresh fruit, or the Rafferty's Garden pouches of fruit puree are great).
maybe try giving her some strips of cooked steak or a chop bone to suck on, the iron is great for them at this age.

other fruits you could try are peaches (can use tinned fruit), banana. Cous cous? I mixed it up with a bit of mashed vegies. It's a bit of a different texture for them.
