I did a very big boy thing today. I drank from a sippy cup all by myself for the very first time. Mommy has been working with me for a few months now to get me to drink from a "big boy" cup but I just wasn't interested. I liked my bottles. So today, when she tried again with the cup, she wasn't expecting me to grab it and take a drink. She was so excited she took fifty million pictures (okay, that might stretching the truth a tad). We will share them with you soon.
I am also learning how to feed myself. I hold onto the spoon or fork now and help Mommy guide it into my mouth. I'm getting fairly good at it but I still struggle with getting the food onto the spoon. We've been eating a lot of mashed potatoes for lunch to work on this.
My speech therapist is going to freak! We've been working, and working, and working....these are HUGE steps and Mommy almost cried when I drank from a cup. Hooray for me!
Where's my big boy cup? I'm thirsty!
