So in order to help Jackson develop his fine motor skills and to encourage him to independently eat, I've been trying to give him finger foods. Unfortunately we've been encountering some difficulty and he hasn't quite mastered this skill. First, he struggled to pick up the piece of food. Next, he couldn't quite find his mouth and get the piece of food in. Lastly, sometimes he wasn't quite sure what to do with it and it just sat in the cheeks of his mouth. As the weeks have gone by, he's finally figured it out....or so he thinks. He either, one, attacks my hand and pulls it toward his face, or two, he stuffs as much as he can in his mouth with his paw. Guess we still have some work to do :)
