His self feeding skills are much improved, and he eats so much more confidently with a spoon and a fork. It's still a struggle for him to grip a pencil or crayon and make marks on paper, but we're working away at it. Sometimes his hands will flutter up in to the high guard position, like excited little kites. They stay there, as if he doesn't realize his hands and arms are attached to him.
I keep trying to think of new things to try to connect the dots for him. Or, as the case may be, get him more connected with his arms, hands, and fingers.

That's good form with the spoon there! My Bitty has been working on this too, and he's finally starting to get the hang of the spoon. He doesn't much like to color, I think partly because it's hard for him to grip and control the crayons / pencils. Still working on it here too :)
