Hi L.!
I can understand your concern. My son went through the same thing. Your son is doing great and moving a along very well. Meats are a tricky one and the texture can take some time getting used to. My son is 14 months and I still give him some jarred food simply because some foods are hard to make "chewable" for him. Keep introducing him to new foods and eventually he'll get used to the textures. For now, it's good to have the jarred food handy. At least you know he is getting all the food groups in. If you want to add some meat, I ground chicken with breadcrumbs,onion and apples and make into balls and bake--he loves them!
I hope this helps!
