egg bites! he first politely squashes them in his hand and then proceeds to devour them. he eats two in a sitting!

8.5mo. I honestly feel like my cooking is shit atp. I make him a rice pudding sort of soupy thing and he eats like 2 spoons before crinkling his nose and turning his head away and wants the shredded cheese instead. I lightly pan fried tofu slices with italian herbs & unsalted butter and all he did was mush it to pieces and none of it ended up in his mouth and all on the catchy. Mashed corn kernels and all he wanted was to play with it. I tried spoon feeding or hand feeding him and he gets frustrated. But he doesn’t bring food to his mouth. He knows how to (he loves strawberries, bananas, oranges etc) and will eat fruit without my help. Is it just my cooking??

Does it get better? Is it hindering his ability that I don’t offer every meal BLW style? I am a super picky eater I hate it and don’t want him to be like me 😭

Advice please 😭
My 8.5mo wakes up every 1-2 hours at night. He sometimes settles with a pacifier sometimes needs boob if he keeps crying. He’s fed to sleep. Bedtime is honestly different everyday now because he refuses sleep sometimes or has a few false starts. His first stretch will be 2.5-3hrs long and then after that hes awake whinging every 1-2 hours. We cosleep ever since he moved out of his bassinet because he refused to sleep in his pack and play and since we want him to stay in our room, we can’t fit a cot because the room is tight. His wake windows are about 3/3/3.5 now.
