Sippy Cup

C has a huge interest in cups. Loves them. When Chris and I drink, she is always following our cups and trying to smack them. So we started letting her "play" drink. The problem is that she does not recognize that some of Mommy's drinks (or many of Mommy's drink, depending on the day) are not suitable for 5 month old babies. As you can imagine, this makes her angry. Because she is Aunt Heather's niece, she yells when she's angry. So, rather than give into the urge and let her try my Pomegranate/Vodka mix (which may make her sleep in the next morning), we went to Target and purchased sippy cups. For those of you who heard my Target rant several weeks ago, where I threatened to burn the store down, light people on fire and never, ever shop Target again. Well, what can I say. We all knew I would shop Target again. It's Target. How can you resist when they build a new store a mile from your house. It has everything. It's like the cleaner version of Walmart. So, off to Target where we purchased several sippy cups, new fancy spoons (because maybe she will be less messy than Mommy at feeding herself) and a shopping cart cover so that I can be THAT MOM. Anyway, the video is her using her new sippy cup. She seems to like it. I think she would like it more with one of my drinks in it. I'm waiting for Chris to suggest I use it myself (as you may know, if you've met me, I spill...A TON). Her favorite game is fetch. Not with the dogs. With her parents. She throws things off her tray and we fetch them. I was reading this helps develop their sense of cause and effect. I'm thinking we should teach her a different effect than me picking it up 100 times. I think this game goes on for years. At least she's a girl, so she'll grow out of throwing things on the floor and waiting for me to pick them up. Chris took her to "the ACME" to look at the creepy seafood. She sat up like a big girl, with her new fancy shopping cart cover. So, C had a big night.
