This is Lyra at the Weathervane restaurant near our house, for her (early) birthday celebration dinner with my parents. Here she is showing off the skill she developed fully in the past few days (or else she developed the desire to actually use it!) once Grandma used some hard love and just put the sippy cup on the tray in front of her and didn't hold it up for her to suck. I don't know why this particular thing she is doing makes me so happy. Literally, every time yesterday and today she picked up her cup yet again and not only put it to her mouth (which she did very occasionally before), but properly tipped it back enough that the milk actually went into her mouth (which she didn't seem to get before), I felt so, so happy and proud. She even completely emptied 4 oz of milk tonight! Maybe it especially thrills me because it is so obviously purposeful, unlike her standing unassisted for several seconds, which just seems accidental.
