I have been trying to teach Chance how to use his sippy cup. For the last few days we have been eating lunch together, I pull him up to the table, give him his sippy cup and a piece of bread while I eat a turkey sandwich. When I pick up my glass he will pick up his sippy cup and try to drink out of it. He doesn't quite understand yet that he needs to suck on it and not just chew on the spout but since we have been eating lunch together he has gotten a lot better. He also loves his piece 
of bread. I tear it into little pieces and give him one at a time. The first time I gave him bread I gave him the whole piece at once which he quickly stuffed into his mouth with both hands till he nearly choked himself, so now we do little pieces at a time. Still a bit of the bread winds up on the floor, much to Rosco's excitement. Chance is really doing well using his fingers to pick up food now too. Before he would use his whole hand but now he uses his fingers more. I have also caught him a few times just moving his thumb and index finger in a pinching motion and watching his fingers. He is concentrating and practicing his new skills.
