Last Saturday I was at Target and decided to grab a couple of straw cups for Elle. She has gotten really good in drinking from her big girl sippy cups so I thought eventually, I want to teach her how to drink from a cup using straws. Last night, I decided to have her try out her new cup and see how she will take it. I assumed it will take her a few days or weeks to figure out how to use it. Daddy Jarbs thought we should wait until she can talk so we can instruct her what she needs to do to suck the water up through the straw. Of course, I did not listen to Daddy Jarbs and had her try out the cup anyway :-P. I wanted to see what her reaction will be and what she will do with it. The first time I put the straw in her mouth, she just bit it like a teether :=P. I showed her how to suck the straw but of course did not expect her to understand what I was trying to tell her. Well, lo and behold, after a few tries and biting in the straw, she figured out how to suck the water up the straw! Yay! Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised she learned that quick!!! I got so excited and happily shrieked to Daddy Jarbs "oh my gosh, she sucked the water!!" :-P. Everyday, Elle continues to amaze us with all the new things she learns and how fast she learns them :). My next goal is to get her out of the bottle just after her 1st birthday :-). We still have a few months go so I'll worry about that later. For now, I'll let her enjoy her new straw cups :-).
