I'll Feed Myself, Thank You

A couple weeks ago, Joshua decided he didn't want to be spoon fed anymore. He'd twist and turn and shout and the spoon just wouldn't go in. From that point on, picking up little pieces of rice, meat, cracker, vegetable, and so forth was the order of the day. Since then he has allowed some spoon feeding again but overall, he still prefers to use his pincer grib to pick up food with chopstick-like precision between his thumb and pointer finger. It is often the left hand he uses for this so we wonder if he is a lefty. Only time will tell on that front. Personally, I am routing for ambidextrous as it seems much more versatile.

We have a short video of Joshua eating a raisin by himself that I have posted so if you have the bandwidth

(Check out those flailing arms. Joshua is really Mr. Energy. Should we put a drum cage around his feeding table?)

If you want to skip the video, here is a simple pic of the boy going at it with his pincer grip.
