Spring and sippy cups

Spring arrived, and then retreated. Although it is expected back soon! We took advantage of the nice weather and did some planting in our front yard. James loved being outside and wandered all around while we planted. One of us was constantly chasing after him so he wouldn't go too far. Here are James and John getting ready to plant some flowers.


Also, James recently got a new straw sippy cup. It is the cutest sippy cup ever although I wasn't sure how long it would take him to learn how to sip through a straw. Well last night he made a break through and is now loving his new independence at controlling his water during meals. Previously he would hand the sippy cups (with handles) to me so I could assist him. Now, he needs no assistance and just pulls the cup to himself and takes a long drink.
