Drinking Water



Not quite as good as Mummy's milk but much more fun to get out, I can chew on this one...


Hmmmm not much left now, I wonder where all that water went and why my bib is all wet.....


This week I have started to give Emily her very own sippy cup with some water in it. I was so spuprised how well she took to it. When I first handed it to her she took it straight by the handles and then, not so suprisingly, put it to her mouth (everything goes in her mouth these days). She loved the sensation of the soft spout in her mouth but then when she got the water she was not as impressed. I think my girl definitely prefers her milk! It was a bit of a catch-22 for her as she was loving sucking on the spout but not really loving the taste of the water. She is still very interested in food (usually mine of course) and has been waking up one or two times a night hungry for a feed. After meeting my friend Michelle and her two very allergic kids (got the allergies from their Dad not through eating too early) I am determined to hold Emily out until 6 months before starting solids as I don't want to increase the risk of allergies.

Wow, she is growing up so quickly. She's pretty darn smart to just take to it like that without any help. Well, she definitley takes after our side with her love of food.
