We have tried everything to get him to open his mouth for food, and I mean everything.Technique #1- I sing and dance while Chris tries to shove it in.
Technique #2- We trick him with yummy foods like Cheetos and Fatboys, and then try to swap it out for peas or normal baby food.
Technique #3- Letting him put the food in his mouth and not looking at him. (may seem weird, but it worked for a brief period).
Technique #4- Dragging the highchair outside.
As soon as we think that we've found something that works, Milo switches it up on us and refuses to eat. Oh, also he does this thing where if he is unhappy about eating, he will hold his breath until he gags and throws up.
What a little stinker. 
These last two days that I have found success in a couple of ways:
-Letting him crush his food and get INCREDIBLY messy.
-Letting him watch TV while eating. Judge Judy and Jesus channel are his favorites.
The one thing that Milo does love about eating.... Getting cleaned up after.
