Corin is making terrific progress on his pincer grasp. He can now pretty easily get the puffs (cheerio sized) from the table to his mouth. We had been relying on the wheels since he could bite off of those without getting frustrated. The puffs were getting lost in his palm.
What's funny, though, is watching his other fingers when he's busily concentrating on the thumb and forefinger.
Sometimes he gets stuck because one of the 'extra' fingers ends up getting stuck in his nose. He tries to insert the food, but the extended 'extra' finger hits the nose first, goes up a bit, gets uncomfortable and the food hasn't hit the mouth yet. This is awkward, but humorous to watch.
Other times, he forgets how far in he needs to stick the food and ends up gagging himself on an extended finger as he shoves the puff into the back of his mouth. This is terrifying as I suddenly worry that he hasn't 'chewed' it enough and is choking.
He's come so far, but has some fine tuning yet to do.
