the cup, revised

Back in September I shared my sippy cup woes with our blog readers. Well, I am happy to announce that Eddie has successfully been drinking from ALL of his various sippy cups for almost a month now. Throughout the day I fill one of the spill-proof ones with water and leave it somewhere where Eddie can reach it, usually on a bar stool. He finds it, of course, and totes it all around the house that by the end of the day I cannot ever seem to find it. Then during meals I use the Take-n-Toss cups and fill them with milk. He is still not drinking the milk as much as water. And then he always has a sippy cup in the car and seems to drink it while we ride. I guess the reason I feel it is so relevant to talk about the cup is because Eddie never drank from a bottle, and is still breastfed four times a day, so I have worried that he would be dehydrated if I didn't present him with the boob. Even something as simple as drinking, needs to be taught to a baby...so I have realized. Once again, I am glad that he is capable of drinking. Even if it now means he is drinking his bath water too.

Above is a photo of Eddie just being one of the guys, "drinking" with his Uncle Will.
