The Presson Family

Last night Christian went to bed WITHOUT A BOTTLE!  This is big news in our house!  Christian loves his bottle and when we tried to get rid of it at 1 year he refused to drink milk from any other cup/sippy.  So we have been giving him 2 bottles/day since then.  He gets one before nap and one before bed.  Since he's almost 15 months old I thought it would be a good time to try again.  Just before bed last night I filled his sippy with milk and handed it to him.  He started drinking right away...no fuss, no fight. 

So we went into his room and I rocked him while he drank his milk (like usual).  He drank about 80% of the sippy and went right to sleep.  YAY!!!  Hopefully tonight goes as smooth and we can drop the night bottle for good.  Next we need to work on dropping the nap bottle.  I think it will be harder to break Papa of that one than Christian.  ;)

We will probably be converting his crib into a toddler bed this weekend.  I have caught him trying to climb out of the crib recently.  Since he sleeps in a twin bed for naps during the weekdays...I think he'll transition just fine.  My little baby is growing up! 

This weekend we have planned a trip to Eckart's on Sunday for apple picking.  The weather forecast was looking good, but now they're predicting rain so we'll see.  Those things change daily here in St. Louis.  If we end up going I'll be sure to take LOTS of pics!  =)
