the pincer

after lucas' afternoon meal of applesauce, i decided to let him try some fruit puffs again. last time we tried them, lucas still wasn't able to pick up the puffs by himself using his "pincer" grip - grasping a small object between his thumb and forefinger. but he succeeded at it today - we were so proud of him! it's too bad we aren't able to show the video here. not to worry, though. we've selected a few of the bazillion pictures we took to share with you so that you can share in our delight!

(last row: lucas thinks, "ooh, just one more. mommy, help!")
