bottle convert

for the first (almost 10) months of his life, we really could not get jax to take a bottle. it would be hit or miss, but he mostly nursed the entire time. i didnt mind it, but there were days i'd wish he'd take a bottle so i could leave the house for an extended period of time or just be assured that he'd take a bottle and go to sleep for asah at bedtime. well, the ear infection this past week changed all that. for 3 days he took no liquids, but when he felt like drinking again, to my surprise, he wanted nothing to do with me, but only a bottle or cup. so here we are, weaned at 10 months but i refuse to buy formula....so i'm going to become friends with the pump for the next 2 months to see if we can make the magic one year mark or beyond. i'd be lying if i said i wasnt sad that he's done nursing, it was such a special time and means that he's growing up. but part of me likes how "easy" it was to wean him and that he's becoming more independant. i love this kid. and he now loves his bottles!


no hands!

upside down even!
