The weather has been great this week and so we've been playing outside at least once, sometimes twice a day. It's been great! I also said over the holidays that when it warmed up we'd practice with cups and so we've started. I found these great cups at Wal-Mart for the kids with the straws built into the cups so we don't have to worry about them playing with the straws (but they're still learning how to handle an open cup). Abby hasn't gotten down how to drink from the cup (she puts the cup below her bottom lip and of course, is Miss Independent and won't let me show/help her) so she prefers to drink from the straw. Jake switches and drinks from the straw a bit then from the side of the cup. We've only practiced this week but they're both doing well; although I'm not ready to let them drink from an open cup in the house yet :-).
We've also broken out the popsicles. I make home-made popsicles with Propel so they're clear and I don't have to worry about messy red or blue popsicles staining all their clothes. The kids love them and usually have one (outside) in the afternoon for their snack. I love summer!
And here's a new pic of Lily...she's really into her hands now and sucks on them when she's tired. She's also started blowing bubbles and laughing this past week. Her laugh is so sweet!
