Good & Bad News

Ok I have some good and bad news, which should I start with the good or the bad?? Lets go bad first....

After finally getting Reagan to sleep through the night, it seems we are now having a bit of a problem. Before she would occasionally wake up throughout the night but she would just go back to sleep on her own, however now....SHE JUST STANDS THERE!! Since she can now pull herself up, she just stands in her crib screaming. (refer here if you would like to see a picture of exactly what is going on) So I am not sure what to do about this and I am wondering how long it is going to last. It's a new thing, she has only been doing it here lately. Last night she did great but then today during nap time, not so great. Hopefully this will pass and won't take to much training! I can't stand letting her cry it out, I am to weak.

Ok, on to the good news! I have been working with the sippy cup, trying to "wean her off the bottle." We knew this was going to be difficult for her because she has never taken a passy, her bottle was kinda her passy I guess. But I knew we better get to it before it was way to late. I read that around 9 months they should only have juice in their sippy cup, no bottle. So that is what we have been working on this week. The first time I gave her the cup she was totally not interested. She was actually frustrated with it, so we just stopped. Then the next day we tried it again and it was much better. I have to hold the cup for her, but she is learning. Right now she likes to bite on it, but she is at least trying and had a smile on her face. Here are a few pictures I took yesterday of us practicing with the sippy cup!

P.S. You might be wondering why I chose not to dress my daughter? Before when she tried her new cup, her shirt ended up completely soaked, so we decided to practice in the buff!
