does he eat them if you let him feed himself? Im not big on mess but if I let Milly attemt to spoon feed herself that kind of food she eats it but if I spoon feed her she spits it out. When she is busy I can sneak a few spoonfuls in We end up with alot of food in the hair too...hers and mine
Some times he likes to feed himself (with me guiding the spoon or else it ends up in his ear ) but other times not so fussed.

Beautitude and mizqtie- nice to know DS isn't the only one then, thought I'd done something wrong as DD was eating alot lumpier food at this age, but I suppose each child is different!
