7 month baby feeding

I've got a very happy 7 month old baby. He just isn't very interested in solids. He drinks milk happily and is bang on 50th centile and has stayed on his curve - if you know what I mean. He refuses all purees and the only things he will eat are rice cakes, the occasional bit of toast and will entertain the occasional softly cooked vegetables. He won't take anything off a spoon so I'm offering lots of finger foods. He just isn't terribly interested. Should I be worried or am I just being silly? Any advice greatly received.

I have a 15month old who still doesn't eat a hole lot of food. I think 7months is a little early to worry.

Just offer food when you eat, lots of finger food and don't worry about purees.

My 7 month old is a bit like this has v good days, then days he'll eat almost nothing. But never seems overly fussed at any time. Will eat toast and rice cakes too and doesn't like being fed from spoon so what I do is give him some finger food then sneak spoon in while he's messing about with it, so he gets a bit of both. He's very big so it doesn't seem to be doing any harm so I'm not too worried yet.
