Olivia and I just spent the day playing at home...destroying the basement in the process. Christian had to work a couple hours late, so it was a pretty long day. Our big news is...we are taking Olivia off the bottle, and we're very nervous about it! She was on three bottles a day...once she turned 1, we started weaning her off formula and the bottle at the same time. We took away her afternoon bottle, and she did just fine. Then, we took away her morning bottle and worked on getting her to take the sippy cup more...this took some time, but went fairly well. Now, she is doing great with her sippy...almost a full glass with each meal, and she hardly drinks any of her bottle at bedtime, so we think it's time! I do think she'll do just fine with it, but change is always a little scary. Our biggest reason for getting her off the bottle (other than the fact that they recommend to do it around 12 months) is that we need her to be completely over them before baby comes, so she doesn't get jealous about it. Hopefully this is soon enough to get it out of her mind. So, we'll see how it goes!!
Here is today's picture...as you can see, she always has her sippy close by!!
Until tomorrow!!!
