You could back off spoon feeding entirely and go the Baby Led Weaning route. Just put some chunks of food in front of them and let him play. You'll find a whole thread on BLW  on this board and the ladies will give you loads of good advice. It's the perfect solutions for babies who don't want to be weaned onto purees.

Hi Jen!  I saw you found us on the BLW thread, great!  The ladies there will definitely be able to help you get started.  Here is a link with some more info:  http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=92560.0
I also recommend the BLW weaning book as it really explains the process and what to expect. 

My DS2 refused pretty much all forms of purees and being spoon-fed, so BLW was great for him and made feeding a lot less stressful for us.  :)
