6 month old feeding issues

[Andienoble11]

I started feeding my daughter vegetables and fruit and about 5 months and everything was going great for about a month and then all of the sudden she didn't want to take a spoon anymore but she still showing interest in food. She tries to grab food off of my plate. What is going on why does she not want to have to be any more of her food? She's crawling and pulling up on stuff so I know she needs the fuel

oh, this is just a normal developmental thing. at some point, they want to do things on their own. let her feed herself, it's no big deal or both of you can do it together which sometimes work as a compromise. my daughter had phases where she'd do this, then let me feed her, then decide i couldn't. now she eats by herself unless she's not doing well i'll pick up the fork and try get some bites in there!
