Baby has no interest in solids

My 8 month old does great with purées and is always interested in what we’re eating. But when it comes to puffs and steamed fruits / veggies (that he’s had in purée form and likes) he has no interest! He’ll play w them in his mouth with a disgusted face and then spit them out. Anyone else? He just not ready yet or do I keep trying so he gets used to it?
