Sippy Cup!

Water....for something so critical to life, it's amazing how much time I've spent these past few days pondering the subject of water. I've been reading a bunch of books and websites about baby food lately and there seems to be so much controversy over when to introduce water into a baby's diet. Some say that breastfed babies don't need water while others suggest adding a bit when the baby starts solids. Then there is the debate about whether to give the baby tap water or bottled water, then you need to make sure they get some fluoride, but not too much! And here I thought water was such a simple thing!

Anyways, reading aside, today we decided to give her a few tastes of water...in a sippy cup! She did really well with it and enjoyed a new thing to play with in her high chair. After a few little coughs and sputters, she is getting the hang of it and I think she enjoyed her first sips of water!








Look how wide she opens her mouth when she sees her food coming! She sure loves to eat. Look closely and you can see those teeth, getting bigger each day!
