When did your baby self-feed with a spoon?

11 months, will grab the spoon if I load it, but mostly chaos. When did yours actually feed themselves with a spoon properly?

Yogurt and oatmeal are great early self-feeding foods - stays on the spoon.
ezpz spoons are designed for this. Wider grip.
Loaded spoon was the trick - we did this from 7mo. Properly self-loading around 16mo.
Mine could spoon at 14mo. Friend's didn't until 2. Massive range.
