First Cheeseburger

Charlotte has had cheeseburgers before - all cut up, of course. This was her first 'real' cheeseburger eaten in true form. She ate the whole thing (and some pasta AND some corn). And she kept giving kisses in between bites.

The Last Bottle

Bye-bye bottles.

Everyone (at least those who frequent BabyBeaker) knows of our trials and tribulations with the bottle to sippy transition. Well, we made it. Charlotte is now on all sippy cups. No bottles. Anymore. No trace of strawberry milk either. I give to you...The. Very. Last. One.


We're going to miss the bottle bonding but I'm sure we'll find some other ways to get the very-much-needed-snuggles in some where!

Planting Flowers

Charlotte and I went over to Pike Saturday afternoon to pick out a little color for the back porch. She was very helpful when we got home.

Molars

She has two coming in - one on each side, bottom.

Look At Those Curls

Success!

She drank a sippy with milk from Mommy this morning! Woot! True, it was 'laced' with strawberry milk but, it still counts. Finally.

Sippy Cup UPDATE

So ya'll know we've had / are having issues with the sippy. Well, just to let you know we are down to two bottles a day now! Woot! The only thing keeping us from 0 bottles a day is that Charlotte absolutely refuses to take a sippy with milk from either Stevens or myself. She freaks and screams no, no, no as soon as either of us comes near her. Water in a sippy - she is fine. But milk? No.

She chugs two 12 ounce sippy's for Vesa no problem. What a stinker. We just need to make sure that she will at least take two sippy's from us a day (at this age minimum milk requirement is 12 ounces) before ridding of the bottles all together.

So, we decided to get sneaky. I came across an article from BabyCenter from a mom who had the exact same problem. Her remedy? Sneak a little strawberry milk in with the regular milk. We tried it this morning and after the freak out she realized it was something a little different and down went the milk - for Daddy, anyways. The real challenge - will she take it from Mommy? Stay tuned...
