Using a fork

We've been trying for a few weeks now to have Oliver starting using his own silverware to eat instead of us having to feed him but he never care much for them or what they were doing sitting on his tray. Instead he used his fingers like most kids. When you'd take and put the spoon/fork in his hand he'd throw a tantrum until Wednesday. On Wednesday he actually took the fork and put it in his mouth. He did this throughout lunch and even was successful at stabbing a piece of food with his fork. Spoons are much harder for him because it all falls off the spoon before he can get it to his mouth leading to baths afterward. Now I think he does it on purpose to get a bath after. So smart! And, we think he's going to be a lefty, he does mostly everything with his left hand.
