sippy success!

Some of you know that for months now I've been trying to get her to drink from a sippy cup, without success. I have almost every type of sippy cup there is...all except for one, which I finally bought yesterday. AND IT WORKED!!! I SO wish I had bought it months ago, but they're expensive and you have to buy a pack of two. Since I didn't know if she'd drink out of it or not, I didn't want to spend the money or get two of them, but yesterday I broke down and did it. They're the Avent Magic Cups, or something like that. The tips fit into her Avent bottles that she's always used, so I gave her a bottle of formula with that tip instead, and since she was really hungry, recognized the bottle, and wanted her milk, she was willing to make the effort to drink from a different type of tip. She did great!

Today I just gave her the regular cup, not attached to her bottle this time. It had water in it, and she drank it like a pro!

Who knew it could be this easy with the right cup???

Oh, Phil still makes fun of me... we had one of every sippy cup known to man!!! I didn't want her drinking milk from a bottle, so I tried hard too!!! I'm glad you finally found one that worked.

Now, you have to decide if you'll save all of those cups for the next little one or if you'll pitch them... I pitched them, lack of space to store them :)
