clapping

Every time we read a book to Abby, we clap when we finish the book. We close it, clap and say "yay!" Except, more often than not, the "yay!" comes out as a rather low-key "yaaaaay."

So, yesterday and today, Abby has really been making a true effort to master clapping. And, she says "yaaaaay." when she does it. We think its kinda funny.

Here's a little video of her practicing.

Oh, and you'll see her start the music with her nose. This is the only way she ever does it - and I'm honestly not sure if she knows she can use her fingers to do it or not. But, she's so dad-gum proud of herself every time that we just let it slide. Perhaps she's part parrot.

Enjoy!

Laura, I was surprised to read — at the 5-month chapter in What to Expect the First Year — about introducing sippy cups that early. I had no clue, honestly.

Our pediatrician told us at 6 months to start introducing her to a sippy, and since I was still nursing her then, he advised replacing each nursing with a sippy as I weaned her.
He said the goal is no bottles by 1 year.

Of course, you know all pediatricians are different :)
