The Sippy Cup

Last night Dave and I decided to assemble Charlotte's high chair so she could sit at the dinner table with us. She really liked it, specially since we put a few toys on the tray for her to play with. She needs to get used to sitting here because soon it will be time for her to start eating solid foods.


Then I decided to give her a sippy cup to play with. I didn't expect her to do much but bang it around. I held the empty cup up to her mouth and much to my surprise she grabbed it with both hands and attempted to drink out of it!! I quickly added a few tablespoons of water and gave it back to her. Wouldn't you know, she started to drink it all by herself. She had never tasted water (or anything but breast milk for that matter) so the look on her face was priceless. She spit it right out and tried drinking it again. She made many attempts to drink the water and actually swallowed a few sips. Although most of it ended up soaking the from of her shirt. I am so proud of her!


And finally, before bed, she played on her activity mat and Zoe decided to join her. I couldn't miss this photo-opp.
