I know it's a very small victory, but I'm excited. Bug seems to have figured out the sippy cup. With Zane I used the Drop-In bottles, and the smart little bugger figured out that if he just kept sucking, the food would get to him eventually so he didn't have to lift the bottles. That made sippy cups difficult because he refused to lift them to get the liquid out. He was over a year old before he finally figured it out, and that only happened after I transitioned from bottle to straw sippy to a normal sippy. I didn't want that to happen with Bug so I'm using the VentAire bottles with him. Today, I gave him a sippy cup with a little water in it. At first, it looked like this.
He was having quite a bit of fun pounding the cup, pouring the water out of it, and then splashing it, but then he figured it out. You could tell he was happy to figure it out. He started to get mad when I took it away, but he was also full and wasn't really drinking it anymore. I'm so glad he figured it out. This means switching him off the bottle won't be a fight. Thank goodness.
