Finger Foods

Max is now a pro at feeding himself finger foods. He used to clutch the food (usually cereal puffs or pieces of bread) in a tight fist, but now he knows to keep part of it in plain view in order to get it in his mouth. Lately he picks it up very slowly and then shovels it in as fast as he can to make sure he doesn't lose it. This strategy works about 70 percent of the time. Today, we introduced small pieces of cheese, which was a hit.
