I recommend Baby Led Weaning.  I recently started a blog about it - it's in my siggy.

I just finished this book, which was recommended by some mommies at a La Leche League meeting.

Baby-Led Weaning: The Essential Guide to Introducing Solid Foods - and Helping Your Baby to Grow Up a Happy and Confident Eater

 No purees, no rice cereal, no spoon feeding.

This. C has been throwing hissy fits when I try to feed him, he wants to feed himself and gets upset that he isnt allowed to hold the spoon that has the food on it. We are going to try the baby led weaning stuff in the evenings at least and let the sitter deal with the cereal. Right now he gets cereal in the morning, then mashed bananas at my moms in the afternoon if he stays up to eat anything. In the evening, he gets a little bit of cereal with pureed veggies or fruit.

Oh, and the only reason we are doing cereal instead of just veggies and fruit is cause the pediatrician really wants him to have the iron fortified crap at least once a day.
