Quick update

Well,
I don't have time to put pics up but I just wanted to give a quick update about what we're up to.
Micah is so much fun right now! Especially in this warmer weather, we've been going for a lot of walks and playing at the park right down the street. He loves balls and says "ball" and "football"! He's really starting to pick up on new words all the time which is really cute. He also says "snack", "good girl"(to the dog), "hi", "water", "balloon", and "Bible". It's so cool to hear his little pronunciation.
Micah is really walking around well and doesn't crawl anymore at all. I love that because playing outside is much easier now when he doesn't have to drag his pants through dirt and grass.
Friday Neil, Micah, and I are getting ready to leave to go to Florida with the high school students again. This will be my third time going but Micah's 2nd. I think it will be a good trip this year and Micah will be a lot of fun. I'll be sure to post pics when I get back.
Last week we did two new things with Micah: 1)we stopped using the passy all together(he only used it at night anyway)
2)we stopped using bottles and went to sippy cups completely.
The second one has been harder because he really doesn't like the sippy cups much yet and therefore isn't drinking near as much milk as he's supposed to. The Dr. said that's fine a for a while while he's getting used to the sippy cups but eventually we'll need to make sure he's getting more. Any suggestions on how to get him to drink more milk from the sippy? We've tried warming the milk(which I don't want to do really) and also adding chocolate although the Dr. said that we should try to avoid that.

Well, that's all for now.

We used the Nuby's, i think that is how you spell that. Belle liked them because the top is like a bottle but also a sippy. We eventually had to introduce other brands in but it really helped the transition. Good luck!!!

I agree with Jen! He'll get it after some practice. Addy is just learning how to use the cup and we're trying the Nuby, as well. She definitely likes juice better than milk out of the cup (probably because it's sweet!). Bring back some sunshine & warm weather from Florida for us!
