We put a few cheerios on Dylan's high-chair tray last night while he was eating his "solid" foods. He was attracted to them and had a fine time batting them around and trying to pick them up with his raking grasp. His occassional success owed as much or more to having drool-covered hands as to his fine-motor skills. He managed to feed himself a couple of O's (which he happily munched) but he has yet to catch on to the useful sequence of
1. hand to mouth
2. relax grip
3. insert food
Instead, he tries to fish the toasted whole grain goodness from a closed fist with his tongue.
He was happy enough with eating them last night, I guess I'll find out today how the rest of his system liked 'em.
