Sippy Cup Woes

Hoooray! The boys are 11 months old. They are on the quest for independence. They love doing things by themselves and going in "no-no" places. They love crackers, pancakes, potatoes, and carrots-even spinach. But they HATE the cup. I have 3 types of cups so far: the born free trainer, the Playtex trainer, and the nuby trainer. They throw it on the floor or swat it away no matter if it has water, juice, or their favorite "milk-milk." We might need to sign up for the next BA meeting-bottles anonymous. What's your little one's favorite sippy cup and what was your trick to leave the bottles behind?
We have been enjoying the sporadic spring like days. Friday it was 81 and beautiful. I left work at 4, hurried home, loaded up the boys and off to the zoo we went! It was our first time and we got as far as the gate. They close the gate at 4:30! :( This was the 2nd time we tried to go. They love animals and I know they would love the zoo. We walked around the park and Brody was zonked by the time we got back to the car. Dylan was still all smiles.

We also have been enjoying our swing in the backyard. They giggle the whole time. And an added bonus...it rocks them to sleep.

Dylan left his other shoe inside but still is having a great time.


Brody just wouldn't give me one of his signature smiles that day.

Hey. Wyatt loves the nuby cups. We tried for forever to get him to switch to a cup and that was the only one he ever wanted. We would try for a day or two and then wait a few days and try it again. Hang in there...after you offering it enough, they do eventually take one! So glad you posted new pictures, I had almost given up on you. The boys are precious and getting SO big!!!

Glad your back to blogland! My kiddos never really had a problem switching over so I don't have any advice. Just be persistent!
