Houston, We Have Lift-Off!

Ah the sweet taste of success. And in this case, it tastes a lot like Rice Krispies! Under the coaching of his therapist, Pat, I've been working on his pincer skills. Unlike most babies, Kean had no concept of seeing food on his tray and then trying to pick it up with his fingers. So I've been wetting his hand in his mouth, then putting his hand in the cereal, which sticks nicely-- and then putting it back in his mouth.

Tonight for the first time, he did it himself! He put his hand in the Rice Krispies and then....
Yes! Sweet rewards.
I just had to share his big accomplishment! We're getting there and each step is really quite exciting... at least for the two of us!

The accomplishment is great. But seriously, these pictures could not be cuter!

You know, if you melted some butter, added marshmallows and stirred in the rice krispies, cooled them and cut them into bars, I bet he would figure this out VERY FAST.
