I should also note that I still do this whenever introducing a new food, even if she makes a disgusted face when she tries it I say "good girl Anna, you tried that! Is it yummy?!" and still be positive about it, as a result she usually ends up liking what she's eating because she see's me being positive rather then reenacting her disgusted face.

Also try and make it fun, praise them whenever they take a mouthful. When I first started anna on solids and she would eat some I would be all "good girl anna! you're eating so well!" in an enthusiastic tone. It would make her smile and want to try again. I also sometimes even clapped my hands for her while praising her which would make her giggle lol.

he is hesitant because its new and at this age they still have difficulty working their tongues to eay properly.  Keep trying and be patient but don't force him or he will associate spoon feeding as something he doesnt like
