Strong will!!

Sawyer is now 12 months old and he is so great in so many ways but one... he will not eat grown up food.  Sawyer is such a happy boy, so well natured, but he can be so stubborn and not want to try new foods. 
It would not be that bad if he would accidentally take a bite of something new but he will not even get close to it.  I have to almost hold him down and try to shove the food in his mouth so that he will taste it.  Sometimes he will break and eat it, but then when I try to feed it to him again, he will not eat it.  AAUUUGHHH so frustrating!  He would not even eat his cupcake at his birthday party!
His pediatrician tells me that he should be eating what we eat.  yeah right!  He eats yogurt, pudding, ritz crackers and maybe some cheerios!  That is a well rounded diet huh?  We started blending up some dinner to feed to him, but he knows that it is in a bowl and will not try it.  Eric did try washing a babyfood jar and putting food in there, but he will not eat that either.
How can such a happy go lucky child be SO picky eating?! 
Not to fret!  I know I have only been trying to get him to eat these things for a few months now but it seems as though it is a losing battle!  How do I get him to eat or even try new things?
