Thirsty

I was nursing Evan today and took a drink from my water bottle. Evan watched me closely. I took another drink and this time he reached up for my bottle. I looked down at him and asked if he wanted some water. I turned the bottle spout to his mouth. He opened his mouth and I poured a small amount of water into his mouth. He swallowed and then had this excited expression on his face. He wanted more. I let him hold the bottle and then gave him another drink from the bottle. This time more got all over the front of him more than in his mouth but it was fun nonetheless!

We went into the kitchen later in the day. I gave him his first sippy cup full of just a small amount of water. He held the cup and tried to chew on it. I helped him turn the cup so he could take a sip. We had so much fun doing this that I didn't even notice that he was getting all wet.

Today proved to me that my little boy is ready to try solids. He is so curious about what we are doing when we eat. I am so excited to show him food.
