Self-feeding Satisfaction

Elsa has been wanting to feed herself for the last few weeks, but we
haven't had foods that she can do all by herself for her to try. I
bought some arrow root biscuits which look sort of like dog cookies.
They are easily broken down by saliva and are a perfect shape for her
hand. I gave one to her this morning and it was instant gratification
for her! Instant success! And it seems like she found them yummy,
too. So far we've attempted cottage cheese curds, yogurt puffs, and
puffed cereal but they've been too small for her to grasp and maneuver
into her mouth! This cookie was perfect for her.
