Hittin' the bottle

Not what you think exactly although I have enjoyed a few alcoholic drinks since Anna has arrived!

We gave Anna her first bottle a couple weeks ago (July 31 to be exact) and although mom and baby are doing fantastic at breastfeeding, we wanted to introduce her to a bottle so we would be able to leave her with grandparents/aunts/uncles/babysitters for any extended amount of time.
I let Keith do the honors since I am leaving Anna with him for a day and a half coming up shortly and need to be able to leave milk for them to get by for that long. I know he will do a great job with her!



This picture tells the story quite well as Anna wasn't too sure why I was standing right next to her and she was having to eat her meal out of a plastic bottle. She was very unsure at first but ended up finishing the most of the bottle. We've given her a bottle a few times since this day and while it's not her favorite thing in the world, she usually does a good job at eating. 

We've reached another milestone in our little one's life!

We are happy you introduced her to the bottle! She did great for us the other night. What a joy for us! Thank you mom.
