Wow! You really are brave! I have in my contract that purees have to be provided by parents until the child is on table foods. I had one who was on puress until about 14 months, btu finally now his parents are letting me feed him real food and I think they are still nervous although he is doing really well. One day they arrived during snacktime and he had little pears pieces on his tray and mom asked if it was apple...I said no of course not as he has hardly any teeth. Next day she packed a banana! This little guy is babied a lot too and didn't crawl until almost a year and is now 15 months and nowehere near walking. His parents carry him a lot or use exersaucer. When I pick him up he is like a limp sack of potatoes. However, he is learning independence and plays quite well now...outside he crawls around (I have parents provide long pants for this) even at the park. Good luck!
