We're finally working on finger foods. So far Malynn & Jack just play with the Puffs. They can pick them up, but they aren't really interested in putting them in their mouth or trying to eat any when we feed the Puffs to them. To date, Mommy and Daddy have eaten many more Puffs than they have. One of the cutest things though is how Jack goes after them with his little pointer fingers!
He can use the pincher grip with his thumb a little, but his preferred method of going after anything small is with the double pointer fingers. He also uses the double pointer fingers to point to things in story books now -I LOVE that of course!!!
We have had more success with small bites of banana and mango. They aren't feeding themselves yet, but they practice picking up the pieces. Each day they eat more and more and are already comfortable with slightly bigger chunks. The funny part is when they store up a couple pieces in their cheeks and then sneeze. :)
