The second thing we've been working on over the past few weeks is Brooks using a sippy cup. Brooks in a few months will turn a year old and I really don't want to have to start pouring whole milk into a bottle. We've tried different brands from Gerber to Platex to Nuby to Take and Toss, none of which has he really just took off with. So today we were visiting with some family and as we were walking out the door, my mother in law says, "I bought Brooks a Sippy Cup". He reaches for it as if he's hungry. So I pour his bottle into it and away he goes, drinking like a pro.
It just amazes me how daily our little man is changing into a little toddler. He's crawling so fast now we can hardly catch him. I love how he's catching on to new things but I want time to stand still for a while so we can enjoy him at this stage.

What a sweetie!
I think I know what his sippy cup problem was!
I was reading a milestone chart online earlier today and it gave tips on how to encourage certain developmental areas. For sippy cups, and I promise I'm not making this up, it said that babies like to imitate parents so parents should drink their own drinks out of the cups first so the baby will want to do the same. (How funny is this??!!!) Sorry to say, but I don't think I'll be putting any Diet Dr. Pepper in a sippy cup anytime soon!
I love the learning to use a sippy stage! I'm sure no one noticed this but me... When Gracie started using a sippy I tried to find her one in every color they made and I would tell Alison to make sure whatever dress or outfit she wore to make sure the sippy she took with her matched! Crazy I know, but that's what being a Gran is all about. Did it with the passie too! I think it might be a girl thing but if I'm lucky enough to ever have a little boy to buy for we will have to see what crazy things Gran does for him!
Emily,
Your little boy is ADORABLE! So nice to see you in the blog world (and on facebook.)
