Trying Finger Foods
This is my first attempt at trying finger foods. The ones I tried are kind of like cheerios, but they are made for babies. Mommy wasn't sure when I'd be ready to try such things, and everything talks about when I can use my "pincher grasp", and she's never seen me use it before. So she put a few pieces on my tray to see what I would do with them. I was very good with my pincher grasp (thumb and pointer finger together), but I didn't have any desire to put it in my mouth. I just liked looking at it when I picked it up. Mommy even put one in my cupholder on my tray, and I leaned forward to see it in there and picked it out of there. Mommy put a piece in my mouth to see what I would do, and I gave her a funny face and spit it right out. I guess I'm not quite ready for that yet! We'll keep practicing.
i am VERY happy to know that oliver has a well-developed pincer grasp! That is a hard skill to get, and great to have!!!! by the way, he is getting soo big!!!
