E has finally gotten figured out the pincer grip…and I would say quite quickly at that.   I have been trying to get him to eat finger food for several weeks now.  It started out that he couldn’t even get the food near his mouth, if in his hands.  Then he moved onto palming it in a weird sort of way but not being able to get it in his mouth…slowly he could get the food into his mouth, but not all of the time.  The past few days he has been really showing off with the pincer grip…I would say within a week he started to use it, and not really get the food in his mouth, but now he not only grabs the food but can get it into his mouth most of the time.

He is very proud of himself for figuring this out, which is super cute.  And it makes him happy to get some food in his mouth too!

I’m excited that he has figured this out, but mostly because it will make my life a little easier.  Whenever I would give him finger food, I would always have to keep feeding him, but now that he can grab the food, I don’t have to do as much for him…now onto spoon feeding, HA.
