At 8 months, let him eat whatever bites of (appropriate) solid food that he wants.  Some babies, in fact, self-wean this early.  Cut up anything he might choke on into tiny pieces, and read online guides to what babies can eat at this age, but you can give him a wide variety of foods.  Your health-care provider might have a booklet or flyer about the topic also.  I would check his weight and keep track on a chart, if he is really losing weight, contact his doctor.
