In the past few weeks Xander has really started to transition to solids eating what would equal to about 2 jars of baby food per feeding and only taking about 2-3 oz of formula at a time. Although we do have our off days where he'll only drink the bottle and won't eat, but those days are starting to get few and far between. The challenge lately has been the dreaded "sippy cup". The problem was Xander would just chew on the hard spout on the lid and didn't like to drink out of it really. No matter how hard I tried or what I put in it I just couldn't get him to pick it up and drink himself, he'd only drink if I held it for up for him and only small sips. So I did a little research and I read online a recommendation for a Nuby Sippy Cup So this past week I was at babies'r'us buying yet another baby gate in our attempt at somewhat containing our little crazy man, and I picked one up. I got home put some juice in it set it on his high chair tray and turned my back to do the dishes. When I turned back to check on him, he was holding the sippy cup drinking the juice! He chugged down half a the cup, I was shocked! The lid is the same type of material as a nipple so it was just so much easier for him to get the hang of it. I tried to get the camera out for a picture but he threw the sippy cup at me, ahhh the adventures of motherhood! lol

Aghhhh!! I sooooo feel you on the sippy cups! I think I bought 8 different kinds before we settled on the Nuby sippy cups as well. My boys never did well with the spout where you have to tilt. They automatically started drinking out of the ones with straws and we never looked back! Also you should check and see if they have the cup he likes at Wal-Mart. They have our Nuby ones there and they're half the price of BRU. So happy for you that you're one step closer to being done with the bottle :)
