Minimoo's had a fork from about one - he's 15 months now - (spoons whole other messy issue which I'm just putting off), he's now pretty good with it and if the food is stabbable the whole meal will be eaten with the fork otherwise it's a bit of both. But annoyingly has gone right off veg and become a protein and carbs man, oh the disdainful look he'll give a carrot. Have had to resort to hiding it. Please tell me it's just a phase . . .
