I'd verify with your pediatrician as well as reading our advice.
Regarding comments on organic foods, please be aware that most organic crops have been treated with pesticides that are certified organic by OMRI such as B.T or spinosad.
Gerber baby foods are pretty close to being very healthy. They have minimal preservatives (if any) and are simply convenient. As a working mom through the infancies of both children (including receiving 5 months of chemo while my daughter was transitioning to solids), I had no concerns with using Gerber/Beech Nut foods.
At 10 months, however, she really can have anything you'd have as a snack with 2 stipulations from the American Academy of Pediatrics:
1. No known family food allergens
2. Items that could be a choking hazard - based upon her ability to chew/swallow (things like celery, raisins, steak)
When my kids were that age, we were giving them yogurt (regular, not light), lunch meats, small pieces of fruits, cooked vegetables, toast, cheese (white American from the deli or string cheese).
Here's what the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends on their parenting website for a child her age:
