A New Milestone

Leah has REFUSED to drink much of anything except for nursing. I have tried for a couple of months to get her drink from a sippy cup. That was a big fat fail!

She eventually would take a sip or two - a day - if I took the top off and put the cup to her mouth. But then so much would come out she'd choke. Which meant she wouldn't drink anymore that day. SIGH!

I wasn't too concerned because she had a good amount of wet diapers and she didn't seem dehydrated. Still,  Olivia and Jordyn were drinking from bottles at 3 months!

Finally, this week, she started drinking from the sippy cup WITH the top on. However, she wouldn't if the 'slow flow valve' was in it. Yesterday, I thought I'd be daring and put the valve in. I gave her the cup and VOILA! She started drinking from it. HALLELUJAH!

We, of course, made a big deal of it. Started "Whoo hoo"ing, clapping, etc. Crazy things parents do :)

That's one of many milestones down...
