We can't get Dom to eat the baby food purees at all anymore! We started giving him the Gerber Puffs or Cheerios so he can learn to start picking food up on his own to eat. Well he's great at it (although somewhat messy at it!) but now he only wants to eat that way. No more spoons. Unless he can hold the spoon. And just ask Nick, that's not a good idea.
So we've completely moved on past spoon fed food. We're doing cheese, avocado, meats, bananas, pears, peaches, peas, really mushy green beans and carrots, and just basically making a mess everywhere.
But we're a big boy now. No more being fed. Dommie likes to feed himself.

Thank you for this post! We've been having the exact same struggles with Aidyn and I was beginning to wonder. All we've fed him right now though are the gerber puffs, teething cookies, and bites of potato or other veggies we eat.
He's learning how to pick up and feed himself, but not completely.
Are you cutting up all those foods listed into little bite pieces and letting Dom feed himself?
I haven't even introduced the meats but was planning on this weekend. Already bought it but can't bring myself to try it with him, haha, looks nasty!
Hi! Yes, I'm cutting everything into little little pieces and just letting him pick it up.
We did the gerber meats first and they are so gross, he won't eat them unless they have fruit with them (like the chicken and apples) so we bake a piece of chicken and cut it into small pieces. The same with other meats. He's doing really really well with it all so far. Hopefully he'll keep it up! Good luck with Aidyn! ♥
