Stratton's new "Mean Face"

Stratton has started doing this funny "mean face" or "growling" thing. It started when he would get food on his nose, then we noticed him doing it when he had a runny nose and now he just does it to be silly! I guess he figured out that when he does it we laugh hysterically, and likes the attention! I finally got him to do it for me on video last night, too. I will be posting that later!

  

He is such a sweet boy! I love that he wants, and tries to make us laugh! That is one thing we are not short of in our house- laughter! We are constantly cracking up at the things that our little man does! Most of the time it is followed by a "No!". It is so hard to punish him for things that make us laugh, but it is in his best interest!

He is FINALLY, drinking out of his sippy cup really well! I thought the day would never come and was worried we'd have a toddler still clinging to his bottle! The ones he likes the best are the ones with the straws. He isn't a fan of the regular ones yet. He hasn't figured out that you have to turn them up to get anything out! We have been giving him some watered down baby juice and he seems to really like it. I'm sure it's much better than plain water. He looks like such a big boy drinking out of them. Where has my baby gone?!
