How to get 12-month old to pee on potty and not floor?

It's day 6 of potty training at the Fry household. My son is days away from being 12 months old. The majority of his pees and poos happen within 3 minutes of us taking him off the potty. Any advice on getting him to use the potty when he needs to go? It's like he doesn't want to go pee/poo into the potty or something, we can't figure it out. We're doing the naked method of potty training.

Extra info:

  • We catch > 50% of his poos, but have only caught a few of his pees.
  • He likes the potty and will usually sit on it for several minutes while we read him a book, or play with him.
  • We are not being coercive, uptight, or shaming, and we have made the decision that potty training him is good for him, so any suggestions that he's "not ready" will be ignored.
  • When we say "potty" and/or use the sign for potty, he usually looks at his potty, which indicates he knows what we're talking about.
