DD will not drink water!

My DD will only drink formula.  I haven't really tried to give her cow's milk yet but do hope to transition her shortly after she turns one.  I'm more concerned, however, that she will not drink water.  I've tried to sweeten it with juice and also tried to give her "watered down" formula but she refuses both.  It bothers me mostly when she is hot and sweaty from being outside (like when I take her with me when I run) and she just refuses water. 

 Anyone have any ideas for getting water into this girl? I was looking forward to not having to buy formula soon...

When did you introduce water? It sometimes takes some getting used to.  When we first gave it to DD, she hated it.  Now she cries if I don't offer her some of my bottled water.

Maybe try different temperature water. DS makes horrible faces when he drinks cold water, but is okay drinking room temperature water.

Good point. I don't offer it everyday but I will definitely start.  I introduced it about 2-3 weeks ago.

How about letting her try it out of yours or using a "grown up" cup? DS wouldn't take it from his sippy cup at first but drink out of my cup.

Our started by playing with my water bottle. I'd let her have sips from mine and she loved it! She loves playing with the water bottles too. Now she drinks it from a sippy cup, but still loves to sip mine more.
