Teething baby acting like she's on novacaine?

My little one is cutting her top two teeth right now and whenever she drinks from her sippy cup the water comes out of her mouth like she's numb? Has anyone else had something similar happen to their baby?

Update:

It's a straw cup so she could easily chew the straw without sucking.

    She may be chewing on the sippy cup instead of actually drinking what is in it and just letting the water pour out of her mouth. You can try Hylands Teething Tablets, they were a life saver for me and they don't numb the baby's whole mouth like orajel does :)
