I can do it myself!

Ace has taken on the stubborn streak that he surely did not inherit from me. ;-) He is already trying to do things himself - including feeding himself his rice cereal and green beans. But for several weeks now he has really wanted to use a cup. Is 5 months old a bit young for cups? Well Ace doesn't seem to care about standard rates of milestones and he has been grasping for our cups for several weeks now. The following was taken when he was just a little over 4 months old enjoying an EMPTY cup of ours.



Then we decided to try and give him a little water - I tried to help... but he decided he wanted to do it on his own.... the result was as follows... :)



So off to BRU to solve this problem! and thus a sippy cup is our new favorite friend. Now it doesn't mean that he drinks much (if any) of the water, nor does it mean he chews directly on the water releasing spout, no the bottom of the cup or the handle itself will do just fine from time to time. He's a pretty easy going guy, and now only mildly reaches for our drinks before giving up and going back to enjoy his own.
