Have you stopped purees?

Scout1218

DS is eating almost everything DD and I eat these days, though I've still been supplementing his meals with a veggie and fruit puree.  He's been batting away at the spoon lately, closing his mouth and refusing to eat them, and I was wondering if maybe it's time to stop the purees altogether.  He'll still eat what's on his tray, so it's not that he's full and doesn't want anything else.  I think it's more of an independence thing.  I can't remember when DD moved to 100% table food.  I like the idea of knowing he's had enough to eat, which is why purees are so handy for me, but I have a feeling it's getting to be time to stop.

Is 9 months too early?  Any advice?
