First Time to hold your Sippy Cup and our Zoo Trip on the 4th of July

Big Girl,

At lunch today, you held your sippy cup and drank your water all by yourself for the first time ever!  You were so proud of yourself too!  You made several attempts before, but couldn't quite get the cup turned up enough to actually drink the water.  It's funny that you are all about holding your sippy cup on your own, but not so much your bottle.  I am certainly fine with holding your bottle for you though; it is the one of the few things that is "baby" left of you.  I am so excited to watch you grow and learn all of the new things that you are, but sometimes I wish I could put in all in slow motion because it is all happening so fast, that I can hardly keep up with you.

Later this afternoon we went to the zoo.  The first animal that you saw was a cow who was eating some hay and you were very intrigued by her.  You just stared at first and then just started gibber jabbering away.  You also loved the chickens, but your two favorites were the red panda and the rhinoceros hornbill bird.  The red panda walked right by the glass and you immediately started bouncing up and down and banged on the glass.  The rhinoceros hornbill was jumping up and down from a tree and just tickled you funny; you really started chuckling at that little guy.

Today was your first 4th of July, but we didn't watch fireworks this time.  You like to be in bed by 8 or you get a little cranky, so we just hung out at the house for the night.  I'm sure that you will be ready to stay up a little later next year and we can watch fireworks together then.

Much love,

Mommy
