By golly, she did it =)

If you want to make my baby scream, just put a bottle near her face and she sounds as though someone is torturing her. She just wants to be nursed by Mommy and she will not have any of this bottle stuff. So what does this mean for me? It means that I can not go anywhere for more than 2 hours at a time without her. Not that big of deal, but it'd be nice to know I have the option to leave her with someone for an evening if necessary. Which is why I was so excited today at supper. For the past couple of weeks I have been giving her a sippy cup with water in it after her lunch and supper. She liked to play with it and put it in her mouth and chew on it, a few times she would get a couple dribbles of water in her mouth and look at me with a smile on her face, but that was about it... until today... she actually sucked on it and drank some water from the sippy cup. She then looked at me and I praised her for what she had done, and she put it back in her mouth and drank some more. It was awesome. Crazy how something so simple could make a Mom so proud. Paige of course says I owe it all to her because at supper today she decided to take a sippy cup and fill it up with water to drink. I told her sippy cups were for babies, but she said she was just showing Piper how to do it. Well, who am I to question it, apparently that was all Piper needed. Could this possibly mean that she might accept formula in her sippy cup?? I sure hope so. Maybe we'll give it a shot tomorrow. =)
