Tilt it back

Madeline is becoming quite the sipper. Our attempts to teach her to use a cup began more than three months ago, and now she's handling the sippy cup like a pro.

We got a new cup a few weeks ago that is easier for her to hold and has a miracle-of-science nipple that holds the liquid inside unless she's actively drinking.

Since her arms are pretty short she has trouble tilting the cup up far enough to get water when she's holding it with two hands. So in a remarkable display of Darwinian cleverness she's learned to turn her head to one side and use one hand to lift the cup higher.
