Akyah was introduced to the sippy cup last night. She had a small amount of water in her purple sippy cup and did a good job. She did take a couple drinks but mainly was more interested in biting the cup and playing with it :o)
Akyah's hair is getting thicker and gets a little curly when it's wet so it'll be interesting to see if she has curly hair?!? My aunt Molly and I noted last night "she definitely has Burger lungs" as Akyah was baby talking and carrying, on quite loudly at the restaurant and at home, and continued to note just how much she's like her grandpa! We looked at some older pictures of my dad as a child and my grandpa (Akyah's great-grandfather) and she looks so much like them both, proudly having great-grandpas ears and grandpa’s eyes, hair color, and beautiful smile. I miss my dad so much but when I look at Akyah, I see so much of him in her and can’t help but smile. Akyah even wrinkles her eyebrow the way my dad did, for those of who know “the look” and there are some other facial expressions she makes that remind me of my dad (and myself).
Akyah is sitting up very well on her own and rolling around everywhere. She will roll from one side of the room the other in no time flat. I cannot believe she is 8 months old and will be crawling soon. Parent/infant swim class has been a lot of fun (even though the water is freezing), Akyah loves the water. Akyah seems to be growing out of and is bored with her current toys so we got a few ones today, she loves anything that talks and signs to her.
Here are a few shots from last night for your viewing pleasure:
Yay mommy, my very own cup!
