Nora has been mostly confused by sippy cups so far. They're just slightly tasty teething toys as far as she's concerned, and not really a source of liquid refreshment. Tonight I dug out one of the soft straw cups, though, and she figured it out pretty quickly. Watered down apple juice gets a big cheesy grin and a thumbs up from Nora! (Addy had quite a few teeth when we'd gotten these and she nearly chewed the end of the straw off the first time I gave it to her.)
In other Addy + Nora news, Big Sister has been hovering at the edge of obsessed with "Signing Time" lately and narrates proper technique on various signs to all of us (she's usually correct, btw; she might have a career in being an interpreter). It's excellent fine motor practice for her, even if it does distract from more important things like eating her lunch. The adorable part is that I've noticed Little Sister has been doing a lot of babble signing lately in her attempts to be Just Like Big Sister.
