Little man's self feeding journey

We started giving him puffs as finger food few days ago.

Day 1, he was doing what he did with his bananas, i.e. attempting to squash it then cheekily picked it up, stretched out his sides and then releasing it for the dog (who's happily waiting for his little friend to drop food scraps for him).

Day 2, Mama showed him by using a wee bit of force and went "Look honey, bend your arms and pop the puff into your mouth."

Day 3, little man self fed but only when the puffs were placed in between his tiny fingers. Mama went "You lazy bum. Pick them up and get your pincher grasp trained!"

Day 4, Mama continued to place puffs randomly on his food tray and the little man tried picking them up. He occasionally dropped them, but never intentionally.

Day 5, little man is a pro.
