Cold Turkey.....Almost

Well, Kim started with taking away the mid morning bottle Monday. Tuesday, I messed things up and gave her one because I wanted her to be good during pictures (I know selfish). So instead I didn't give her the afternoon bottle. Wednesday, I decided to not give her the mid morning or afternoon bottle and everything was fine. Today, I took away the first thing in the morning bottle, which threw Olivia for a loop. I tried to put her in her high chair and she literally would not bend her body to sit down and she would not let go of my clothes. I hoenstly could not get her to sit for anything. So, I walked her to the refrigerator and gave her the sippy cup of milk. She took one drink and sat right down in her high chair and had breakfast and drank her milk. Kim said lunch was rough at first, as she was screaming mad about not having her bottle. Olivia finally relented and drank the milk from her sippy. She even drank 8 oz! I allowed her to have her bottle at bed, but she drank far less than normal. Hopefully next week we will get rid of it.

This was a rather boring blog. I apologize. Apparently, my creative juices are not flowing tonight.
