Give me a sip...or a gulp!

One of the cutest things Annabelle has been doing for the last few weeks is drinking from a cup. I didn't think babies her age could do it, but she can! She wants to control the cup herself, but it would end up all over her, so we do it for her. Of course, she helps us with her little dimpled hands and determination.

Whenever we go to a restaurant, we try to keep our water out of her sight, because once she sees it, it's all over. When she finally sees me or Chris take a sip, she grabs for the glass! Then her tongue comes out like a puppy until we cheerfully oblige and give her a sip. She acts like she's been hiking across the desert and is about to die of thirst.

I have to take a picture of this or videotape it soon. It's very adorable to see such a little girl so determined to drink out of a cup!
