Just a quick video of Karis eating some grapes from around a month ago. The first sign she learned was "eat," and she is now quite proficient at saying it when she wants another bite! In the video, she also uses her raking grasp to pick up grapes. This has made meal time so much easier since I can just put food out on her tray and she eats independently, though I do still have to limit how much I put out at a time because she is like a greedy little vacuum - always trying to suck up however much she can as fast as humanly possible. ;)
We are working toward a pincer grasp these days (using thumb and pointer finger only), but she will only try that if we are very careful about how we give her each bite.
