My kids both refused to be fed after a while, long before they had the control to feed themselves anything messy. I figured out many kinds of finger foods, but I didn't know what would replace babyfood veggies. My father solved it! I would get a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, and microwave a little at a time. Perfect finger foods! Both my kids also really took to broccoli florets, and I didn't have to panic about choking :-) And as a bonus, I still get shocked looks from other parents, who cannot believe how much my children (now 8 and 11) love vegetables. To them, vegetables = self-determination!
