7 month old only wants puree fruit and yogurt

My LB only wants to eat the puree fruit and yogurts. He is refusing meat and veg and doesn't like the lumpy ones so it seems. What should I do as I don't want to stress him out, so I'm just giving him what he will eat at the moment. I'm worried he's not getting all the nutrition he needs from the dinners.

Do you always make your husband's plate?

I have a whole list of things I do before bed to set up for the following day. Most of the time, when I ask my husband for help, he gets an attitude. Huffing and puffing.
