Fine motor skills behind in 19 M

Hi 😆back again with a question on food and behaviour for my quirky 19 M DD:
So to sum it up and get straight to the point
She can :

  • point , wave , clap
  • Understand commands ( get shoes , where’s the book , go up the stares , No , Stop etc
  • Can say up to 100 words
  • Can ask for what she wants ( water , food etc .
  • Sleeps really well and through the night
  • She tells me when she does a poo

My main concern is food : she has been fussy a while now and still wants me to feed her the mail meal . Happy to eat finger foods such as fruits , sandwiches, toast crisps . She seems a bit wary on pasta with sauce to touch but she would wolf it down if I give it to her . She eats any sauce ( pesto , bolognaise, meatloaf , rice , potatoes eggs salami .) But she is not bothered by touching fruits or cheese . She loves raw vegetables . She knows what the spoon and the fork are for as she eats yogurt with her spoon and stabs at the food with the fork ☺️. She shows me her hand when some food get stuck and asks me to clean it .
Has any moms/ dads ever encountered a similar situation and if so have you broken the code ? I am aware that it is unusual as all kids her age can self feed with spoon and fork .
Any help would be appreciated

What's the problem?

That she won't feed herself with a spoon and fork yet?

Sorry, OP, what’s the issue? I don’t understand.

Not sure what the problem is tbh. Sounds like an entirely normal 19 mo.

I certainly WOULDN'T say that all children that age are confidently using forks and spoons. None of mine were.
