Won't eat finger food

My 8 month old will not eat finger food. She only wants jarred food. I have tried, Cheerios, whole wheat toast, banana and Farley cookies.
She won't hold her bottle either. I am worried that she is behind with her fine motor skills.

She has been crawling and pulling herself up into a standing position for a month now, and she also climbs over objects, and Daddy & I.

Has anyone else had this problem?

don't worry. my daughter just started maybe 2 weeks ago with the pincer grasp and she is now into finger foods only. she'll not eat anything from the spoon right now. so i give her sliced soft veggies, sometimes a cookie.
you daughter will start eating finger foods when she's ready, don't worry.

i wouldnt be worried expesially if she is already crawling and pullind herself up.shes just learning different things st different times and her stomach might not be strong enough for those foods yet.have u tryed th puffs that disolve in there mouths if not those might work
