Look who's holding their own bottle!!


Rory is a bit behind in giving herself her own bottle. We have been trying for quite some time. She always prefers to dump it on the couch or the coffee table or herself, or let it hang from her lips and suck air, never trying to tip it up. She had made some progress holding it while I am holding her in the cradled position.....BUT today I propped her on the couch and positioned her hands, like I have done so many times before.......and VOILA! She only drank about half of it and wouldn't do the rest, so I fed it to her. It's a great step forward though. Now if she would just drink it on her own without me "preparing" her we'll be all set! YAY for Rory!!!! You have no idea how exciting this is, 15 long months of bottle feeding her when most babies can do this at 6 months of age!!! YAY!!!
