Kiki is fast approaching the “I can do it myself” stage of his life.  That especially goes for drinking out of a glass…which I don’t mind from time to time and yes, it’s cute to watch a 7 month old drink from a glass and not dribble one drop from his lips.  (Yes, I know, he is a genius.) But since handing an seven month old a glass to drink from isn’t going to happen in our house…we’ve decided that it’s time to introduce the sippy cup.  And since I’ve gone all BPA-free crazy, I did a ton of research on all the different types of cups out there and yes, I bought several to test.  Kiki’s favorite thus far is the Nuby No-spill Gripper.  They are super light and come with a handle that he seems to have no prob figuring out how to use!  The lid is really soft and the spout seems to be pretty free-flowing…not a lot of work for him to get the liquid out.  How do I know? I tried it myself.  So check them out if you’re in the market.  And if you want more background info…be sure to read The Soft Landing blog.  They did way more research than I did and can offer more background info on all the different types cups, plates, bottles, etc. that are out there.   And if you’re ready to start spending that $…you can shop on their site too!
