Sippy cup connoisseur

Olivia wanted four sippy cups today. . .one filled with tea, three with water and she drank out of all of them. We have had the hardest time transitioning her from a bottle to a sippy cup, but I think she's finally starting to appreciate drinking out of things other than a bottle. Of course, she doesn't like to drink milk or her Next Step formula out of a sippy cup or straw. . .only a bottle. But, we're making progress. She is doing great with her fine motor skills as well. She is holding her bottle and sippy cups, turning on the tv by remote control and putting shapes in a shape sorter. And her talking? It is just exploding! Every night before bed we try to remember all of the words that she knows. There are now too many to count. While I'm thinking of them, I must say, "Um" because now Olivia says, "Um. . . .boat! Um. . . .apple!" It's too cute.
