Sippy Cup UPDATE

So ya'll know we've had / are having issues with the sippy. Well, just to let you know we are down to two bottles a day now! Woot! The only thing keeping us from 0 bottles a day is that Charlotte absolutely refuses to take a sippy with milk from either Stevens or myself. She freaks and screams no, no, no as soon as either of us comes near her. Water in a sippy - she is fine. But milk? No.

She chugs two 12 ounce sippy's for Vesa no problem. What a stinker. We just need to make sure that she will at least take two sippy's from us a day (at this age minimum milk requirement is 12 ounces) before ridding of the bottles all together.

So, we decided to get sneaky. I came across an article from BabyCenter from a mom who had the exact same problem. Her remedy? Sneak a little strawberry milk in with the regular milk. We tried it this morning and after the freak out she realized it was something a little different and down went the milk - for Daddy, anyways. The real challenge - will she take it from Mommy? Stay tuned...
