Mark Making, Pencil Grip

Ladies. My almost 19 month old has shown an increasing interest in mark making. I've noticed she has an advanced pencil grip (I've only ever seen a full fist grip in children this age) and wondered if any other 18/19 month olds are holding a pencil/crayon etc in this way?

But this is his last Christmas as an only child so part of me does still want to spoil him. I’m planning to get him some new books ...
