self feeding - version 2...

mama look back at the post on self feeding, then she realize that she only jot down story on the feeding grapes with spoon but not the fork.

actually, the next week after ian feed using spoon, mama had this thought. eating with spoon is harder as ian still don't know how to control and position the spoon in order for the food not to fall down. but if he uses a fork, the food will not fall. so, mama let ian feed himself grapes using fork. yes! mama is right! is much easier. mama only feed ian once with the fork. then, place the fork with grapes on the bowl in front of him. the moment he saw that, he pick it up and feed himself nicely. haha.. mama later video a few of it (only 1 mouth each in the video). that's how ian started to self feed using fork. from then on, when we eat out, ian will self feed his fish balls using fork.

here is 1 of the video that mama took...



mama had wanted to let ian self feed his pear/apple next. but then since those pears were bit soft because we bought it some time ago and due to ian started to cough after his HFMD, so we did not let him have them. therefore they turn a bit soft by time ian have them. finally mama got a chance on monday to let ian self feed his pear. mama cut them in the size of 1/8 of the pear. for the 1st 1/8 he play with it a bit, eat a bit clumsily but after he get the touch he manage to do it nicely. although there were times when he accidentally slip the piece off but he tried to hold/balance it with his body (his hand hold it to his body). a bit messy but is still good. mama so happy. clever boy!

yesterday, ian self feed his apple...
