ALL ABOUT EVA

Giving Eva water for the first time was really scary. I was so worried she was going to choke. It doesn’t help that Eva’s Dad had recently read a frightening article on delayed drowning (don’t google it). However, after other moms gave me demonstrations of their babies drinking water, we tried it. We started with a real cup, which is really messy. Then we moved on (backwards?) to sippy cups. She has to close her gums (no teeth yet!) around the spout to make the water come out. I thought she wouldn’t get it, but she almost immediately did. Now we are working on getting her to hold the sippy cup and drink out of it by herself. She mostly just bangs it around and throws it on the floor. Oh, but most importantly, she loves water!
