Cup (C-u-p)

Ben is officially obsessed with his cup. It was one of his first words and really started to get the meaning of it (i.e. if I say "cup" they give me the cup") right around the time we took his bottle away. As a result of these two cataclysmic events, he's become completely infatuated. He's never been into a pacifier, and didn't really lament too much about giving up the bottle. However, if you are caught in a situation without the "cup" watch out. I have about 15 stashed all over the place. Nate and I have started spelling it to each other..."can you bring up his c-u-p for bedtime" so he doesn't hear us say it. If that accidentally happens he will ask for it about once every .5 seconds until it magically appears in his hands. In these pics you can see that he really enjoys toting it around the house.
