big boy too soon

Our little baby boy is growing up way too fast for us! This is a long delayed update since he's been using that sippy cup a week after he started solids. What made me decide to buy him one was when he gulped down 2 ounces of prune juice in less than two minutes. Of course he was using the bottle but little did I know that the nipple was already broken - split open.

So I gave let him drink the prune juice, took my eyes off him for a few seconds and looked back only to be shocked that the juice is almost all gone. My mind went…"HA?". And not a drop anywhere else. So after finishing the juice, I inspected the bottle and surprise, the nipple has this slit across the top. Good thing Mateo was big enough not to get choked with the flow of the fluid coming out. That's when I thought that he's ready for a sippy cup

He loves his sippy cup now. He also loves biting on the spout to relieve his teething pains. LOL. After his solid feeding, I'd always let him drink water or juice from his sippy cup. I would just show it to him and he'd readily grab it by its handles and eagerly put the spout in his mouth. Good boy. Hehe!
