Bye Bye Bottle

We finally did it! After more than a year of trying to get Jack to drink milk out of a sippy cup he finally did it this week! Jack started drinking out of a sippy cup with water or juice at 7 months. But every time I tried formula, breast milk and later milk he simply refused. We decided to let him have the bottle longer than we would have liked due to some major ear infections last year and because Jack is a skinny guy and we wanted him to have the extra calories and fat from milk. Then came Julia so we thought we would give Jack a little longer. Well a few weeks ago I decided enough was enough. It took two and a half days of no milk but this morning Jack finally decided a sippy cup was not so bad. Hurrah! Next up pacifiers and a big boy bed!
