Small took to forks at about 13 months - prompted by the other kids at nursery. (We have always spooned in a self-spoon-grabbing stylee.)
Now at 17 months she uses both fork and spoon pretty competently by herself - occasionally diving in with a hand when she gets impatient.
Oddly, she always puts the cutlery down before rubbing food into her hair - maybe they have inbuilt kid-skills that stop them stabbing a fork into the temple?
