Yep, we are also making strides in the feeding department! They are coming along slowly, but surely so that's all that matters. Colin is very interested in helping with the spoon, but still not so much with picking food up off of the tray.
Miss Regina, Colin's OT, thinks it has a lot to do with the lack of strength in his fingers individually so he still wants to pick things up with his whole hand. Colin's teacher at school said that she is helping him try to accomplish this skill, and of course, we still work on it too. I think it will be awhile, but at least he tries once in awhile.
Yesterday at lunch time we had a practice session of feeding with the straw and he did so well! He is doing great with the straw too, but we still need to supplement with the bottle because the straw works well on days that he chooses it to...
