Eating ?

I am trying to get my 10 month old off of purees. She loves finger foods so as of the first of this week I have been doing just finger foods. She will eat the first few bites then throw the rest on the ground, laughing. She loves to throw things down and watch them hit the floor. I know she is just playing but how do I get her to eat more? I'm worried she isn't getting enough only eating a few bites at each meal. I know that a hungry baby will eat but I don't want her not to get her nutrition. Any suggestions?

When DS first started eating finger foods, he was the same way.  Pedi suggested to let him eat as much as he wanted with finger foods and then follow up with puree.  We did that for a little bit but pretty soon he wanted nothing to do with the puree and was eating tons of finger foods.
