That's kind of a stage of independence most of them go through, best I can tell. I don't recall it being a big problem with our son, but I watched my wife's cousin deal with it a couple of week's ago with her infant twins. She gave them something that's finger food to mess with along with whatever you're trying to feed them. Makes a helluva mess but she did manage to get a reasonable amount of food down them amidst them distracting themselves/satisfying the urge to be DIY feeders.
