Babys first xmas dinner

[Darnsarfupnorf]

theres probably been a million of these threads but...

dd will be 9mo on boxing day so we're planning her xmas dinner. I want her to have pretty much the same as us so shes having a small piece of melon for a starter, a small xmas dinner (all her veg and potatos cut into finger foody strips and maybe a yorkshire pudding to chew on) and a gingerbread snow man for pud.
shes good with foods and has a healthy apetite so i think shed be ok with all of this an of course will leave what she doesnt want BUT i really dont know what to do about her meat, we're thinking of having pork or beef and dont know how shed deal with just a chunk of meat (im presuming not well!) but it seems a little bland without so how are you tackling it?
any ideas welcome, im all out!

I give my ds stripes of meat, he does eat/ chew on them. Perhaps buy a slice of turkey for dd from deli / butchers esp?
