giving up her bottle

sarah is refusing to drink her bottle.
she only wants sippy cups and shes only 10 months (i know, i know, my mom says i should have had her off the bottle by 6 months ~ but shes my last so i didnt even try introducing a cup until recently). no longer my newborn, shes growing up so quickly

When Maya was little I held her bottle/cup until she was about 7 or 8 months. I figured since I couldn't breastfeed her I should at least be holding her when she ate. Now she is getting so independant in other ways and i keep making myself let her grow up. It makes me cry!

aww Branwyn! that is so tough. I think she is giving it up early! LOL so tell your mom to leave you alone! j/k - but don't feel bad for letting her have it still.

I love your new siggie picture! What kind of foods does she eat?

in the signature pic she had demolished chocolate chip wholewheat pancakes (see what i get for sleeping late and andy feeding her breakfast?? lol), but she eats just about everything we eat. like for breakfast she has a yogurt/wheat germ smoothie and some "cheerios", then for lunch she has homemade mac & cheese and green beans and for dinner she has veggie crackers and chicken pieces. so basically shes onto just about anything

that is awesome!! I can't get Bella to eat much in the way of solid foods. she likes some, but won't eat too much. She still nurses a lot though too.

those pancakes sound yummy!

Awww...they grow up way too fast. Beth is 5 months old now and you would never know she was born two months premature...she is a big healthy fat thing.

I love the pic btw...I just bought Beth a high-chair I found at a yard sale but haven't really put her in it yet
