As you may recall, Noa took very quickly to drinking from the straw, but picking up the cup was just too much. But here she is picking up the cup and taking a sip like a big girl! She still will sometimes resist picking up the cup - I've seen her practically bend herself in half trying to find the cup on the floor with her mouth rather then just touch the dang thing.
Today she really got me. She wanted a drink and I was trying to get her to pick up the cup, but she would have none of it so instead she starts this game of "Noa says." This is one of Noa's favorite games: she taps her knee - then you tap her knee, she squeezes her finger - you squeeze her finger, etc... This game can get quite elaborate including multiple props, body parts and various kinds of taps, pinches, squeezes and rubs. She got me going with the cup: tap the cup here, rub the cup there, then with a giant smile... stuck her finger in her mouth (i.e., put the straw in my mouth). Man, she is one tricky monkey!
