They just surprise me sometimes!

About a month ago I tried giving the girls sippy cups and it was no go. I knew Maddie could drink out of one she just didn't want to. Allie didn't mind but really preferred the bottle. Well Sunday I just gave them a cup and Maddie picked it up and drank almost the whole thing!!!! I haven't given them a bottle since. I threw them out today. These girls surprise me lately. They never were big on change but over the past month have done a lot. I changed their room, cut out the paci, changed them to whole milk, and now changed to sippy cups! It's been a busy month.

 

:lol: It's funny how things just click sometimes! Mine were the same way. They'd have nothing to do with them, then one day they were just drinking out of sippy cups. No transition time!

 

Babies this age always surprise me. The rest of the kids clicked with the cups but never gave as much resistance at first. Today Maddie is drinking out if a different style cup too. Amazing.

 

Stop blinking!

Isn't amazing how one day they 'can't' do it, and the next, that giant lightbulb went off?!?

 

Sometimes I think if I could freeze time i would. Life seems to be flying!! I feel like i barely remember the last year. I've been all about surviving.

 

My boys are still trying to figure it out, or maybe they've decided they just don't like them. I don't know whether to keep trying every day (for practice) or to give them a break and try a little later. WE are transitioning to milk right now - about 1/2 and 1/2 in their bottles at this stage. I tried the milk only in a sippy cup but can't get them to take more than a couple of drinks. They sip it at first and then start to fuss and eventually cry for the bottle.

 

I took a break and the next the next time I tried they picked it right up. It's such a battle. Even harder with twins!
