sarai feeding herself...

Sarai finally got around to feeding herself! Well, she has been giving herself the bottle for a few months but she would not feed herself with her snacks. She would pick up the snack but she would never bring it to her mouth. Whenever keith and i would try to help her (like pushing her hand with the food to her mouth) she would start crying and throw down the food. So Keith had a great idea to start her with biter cookies first which are practice cookies for babies they are usually very big and easy to hold. Once she got the hang of that she started using the "pincher grip" and now she is a pro at feeding herself. Its really nice because now when we are having dinner she can eat with us and feel like part of the family. It also provides a nice distraction so that Keith and I can eat at the same time and not have to take turns.
