RM has learned that his new found freedom and mobility doesn't just mean seeing the top of the couch or hoisting himself up on the vacuum cleaner, or crawling over Jim Hargate, etc. He has also found ambition - what poisonous cleaning products lie behind the kitchen sink curtain? How about eating potting soil from the peace lily's container... that sounds fun. I can't just set him down on the floor of the nursery while I get his pj's and diaper from the drawer... He is gone in the flashest of flashes down the hall, through the living room, into the dining room and around the table BACK towards the dog water bowl in hopes of splashing about again. Here's to the world through a ten month old's eyes... who's momma sometimes has to confine him to the 'saucer while she works from home. these were also taken by my friend Rebekah the day she was here.
and PS - anyone have advice for a kid who has no interest in a sippy cup? I even put the sweet stuff (apple juice) in it to lure him... no takers. Turns it upside down and knaws on the bottom, or tosses it off the tray. But good news - has taken formula TWICE in the last week! We may be on our way to weaning soon, woo hoo!

Don't SWEAT the sippy. seriously. he'll get it. he's just got to get there developmentally. and don't bother with the juice. water will be equally fun for him when he figures it out. and then you won't have to carry juice every where. love ya! good luck with that mobility. It is a constant state of learning with these kids.
i miss him.
We had to go through several different kinds of sippy cups before OBB would take one. He only drinks out of the "Take and Toss" ones - something about the flow being easier. Mayeb give some of those a try. I never thought he'd get it either, but he did - and now I have to worry if he'll ever drink from a real cup.
