Feeding Herself

Anna has started developing the "pincher" reflex which allows her to pick up objects with her thumb and pointer finger. Our first test, Gerber banana puffs. Anna has been able to pick them up and move them toward her mouth but she has trouble actually getting them in her mouth. They are suppose to be easy for infants to eat since they dissolve in their mouths but once they get a little wet they stick to Anna's hand and then she can't get them off. It is fun to watch her keep trying to eat them and I don't mind one bit that she doesn't get most of them in her mouth since one of the main ingredients is sugar!
