lol what a gorgeous post. Your DS is awesome! Thats pretty much how DD started eating. we did the puree for a few weeks, mainly things like rafferty's cereal, banana, potato, avocado mash easy things to mash up (i was a lazy mama!) before she was eating off my plate...she also loved her food - not quite as much as your DS does! I think BLW rocks, so much easier and DD is the best eater now - she eats everything (except sweet potato as i found out last night she doesnt like - only food so far she has tried and said yuck to). GL! I hope he keeps up his BF's though! Dont grow up too much lil'man!
THat's exactly what's happening here too... DD#2 loves to be in control of her food and that's fine with both myself and DH. She had broccoli last night and absolutely loved it!
There's also a great article in the ABA's current magazine that describes BLS in pretty much the same way as you have done. The guidelines are (broadly) to let your baby take the lead and feed themselves when they're ready (although it's usually not until after 6 mths, which is when a baby's digestive system is better developed) and just feed them what the rest of the family eats! Easy! Enjoy your BLS journey (and all that time you'll save with purees).
