Esme has been spitting her sippy cup water into lots of containers and trying to drink from them -- so we think maybe that is a sign she is ready to start learning a regular cup. She's also really interested in my coffee cups although she can't have them. She's had a sippy cup since about six months (Playtex ones from WM) and drinks really well from those.
We got a few unbreakable plastic cups with good handles she has already 'pretended' to drink out of. I brought her into our tile-floored bathroom and filled the cup up with cold water and my ceramic cup up with coffee. We practiced drinking although a lot of hers was either pretend 'air' drinks or full down-chest pours she got some in her mouth and was very proud of herself.

She also walked almost all the way down to the lake and almost all the way back up with us yesterday. Mark says that is almost a half-mile. Wow what those little legs can do! After we got home we washed her hands, changed her clothes and gave her some water. Within minutes she was passed out asleep!
