Good Morning Ladies!

 I have posted on here before about how my 7 month old wants to control the spoon - he has a lot of fun, but very rarely does food get to his mouth.  And when it does - he just doesnt seem to like it.  By now he has tried every fruit and veggie I can think of - some combos - but he really doesn't seem to like anything.  He will eat little bits here and there when I get the spoon in his mouth for him.

 I have tried putting small pieces of banana or avacado in front of him to see if he will feed himself that way - but all he does is play with it - he might bring it to his mouth like he does with anything else, but he isn't trying to eat it.

    We are in exactly the same place. I just plan on doing both, every day. I try once or twice a day with a spoon and pur?es, but I also give him pieces of real food too. The ONLY thing he has been interested in so far is cantaloupe. I am not concerned with

    Charlotte has to hold the spoon, too.  Left to her own devices, she would never hit her mouth while it was open.  Ever.  I hold the spoon with her and "guide" it to her mouth.  Probably about 75% of the food gets into her mouth, and

    DD likes to play with the spoon as well. We normally try to just feed her ourselves since she can't do it yet. We're going to try having her feed herself later on.
