Perils of 7month old with teeth

Well its been awhile since my last post now and we are continuing with BLW for Alister
we have introduced a spoon both pre-loading it and handing it to him ( watch out for flicking of the spoon ) and just loading it up and allowing him to open his mouth and move onto the spoon if he wants to eat, being careful all the time to watch for him loosing interest in the food so we stop.
Though mostly he's eating by feeding himself finger foods
 We are expanding his diet slowly
this past week he has had
Yogurt ( about 2 1/2 table spoonfuls each time)
Toast 
Toast dipped in low salt chicken soup
Honey dew and Water Melon
Strawberries
Apple
Pineapple
Cucumber
Melon
Pasta with Spag Bol sauce
Pasta with Pesto
Cheese ( mild and red leister )
Chicken
Ham
Tomatos ( halved and seeded )
Red and Yellow Bell Pepper strips
Banana 
Lettuce ( wasnt very happy with this )
Pork ribs ( the meat minus the sauce )
Roasted Duck
Fish Fingers minus the crumbs
Homemade Chips

Normally for a meal I'll offer 2-3 different foods onto his tray and let him pick and choose what he wants to eat and how and just rescue the bits that fall down beside him because they slip out of his hand.
Hes had a few goes with a beaker of water at playgroup but otherwise has water out of a bottle during the day

And he still wakes in the night to be fed, last night he slept 8.30-1.30 then woke again at 4.30ish and up for the day at 7.30ish. But that is a huge improvement over the 11, 1.30, 2.30, 3.30, 4.30, 6.30 he was doing.

We will get there one day
