Cold Turkey

Today was Caleb's first day without a bottle! At home he was already down to just a bottle when he first woke up and one before he went to bed so I was hoping that this would be a smooth transition for him. He did great! I think it's actually been harder on David and I to give up this last piece of him being a baby than it seems to be so far on Caleb. I wasn't sure what he would think this morning when he didn't get his morning fix. He hesitated at first when we handed him a sippy cup and refused it but a little later in the morning he decided he didn't mind. He has already been taking a sippy cup for a while so we weren't totally switching things around on him. He went to his bottle drawer tonight before bed and started digging around but I gave him a drink of milk (Yep we also switched to whole milk today!) from his cup and we headed off to bed. He didn't put up any fuss about not getting a bottle before bed. We'll see how tomorrow goes but today wasn't bad at all. Ugh, our little guy is definitely growing up.

Matthew and I had a similar convo. tonight. Nora has been doing pretty well potty-training...actually, great! We said, it's sad that our baby is turning into such a big girl. It's been harder on us than her. How much did Caleb weigh yesterday?

That's how we did all 3 of the kids. Jeremiah was the hardest for us because he was going to be our last. (at least that is our plan- god could always change that). i'm proud of you... i know letting him get bigger is hard to do! enjoy it all!
