Okay first off he is only 9 months old give the kid a break!
Second practice, practice, practice! Keep giving him the spoon even if he doesn't use it much just give it to him with every meal he will get it trust me! My son is 24 months and will use a spoon but not very well, uses a fork great though. Early intervention said he does great with a spoon for his age. So no worries just keep giving it to him & let him "play".
