Tatem is 15 months old and hit a big milestone.
She finally weighs 20 pounds!
She finally advanced from a rear facing infant seat to a forward facing booster seat and I think she couldn't be more happy about it. We installed it last night and took her for a drive...and I swear the little lady could not stop talking. She turned into a jabber-jaw with all she could see. She was in car seat heaven!
So, now that she's a big girl we decided to try other new things...

It's time to learn how to use utensils. This was her attempt at eating yogurt with a spoon this morning. She ended up a disast but it sure was cute. I'm loving those little (HUGE) teeth! She has three on the top and two on the bottom.
Another milestone: She finally grew out of her 6 month footy pajamas! It seemed like overnight her toes were being forced to grow upward and her shoulders were being pulled down in those footy jammas. So she got new summertime jammies. New pajamas are always fun!
Another milestone attempt: No more bottle.
Result: FAILED!
Monday morning - no bottles! By 3:00 Monday afternoon, I broke down and gave her one. The thing is, she knows how to ask for it so she knows exactly what she wants. And let's just say, SHE RUNS MY LIFE! There's this little thing called a tantrum she's perfected. It's not pretty!
Tuesday morning - no bottles! I put her morning milk in her favorite camelback water bottle. She yelled at me. So I put her milk in a regular sippy cup. More yelling, with tears this time. So I poured her milk into a...a...a...BOTTLE!!!! Yes, I did. I did it. I gave in, and she smiled through her tears and grabbed that bottle right out of my hands like a spoiled brat.
Maybe tomorrow?

She RUNS YOUR LIFE!!!! Just do it Nat. Just hang in there. After 3 days, she won't even remember the bottle! Seriously, if I did it, you can!
Yeah for 2O lbs! That's how much Kaden weighs too! It's so nice to be in the sitting up carseat!
Cold turkey is the only way to go..I braced myself for 2 weeks of H-E-L-L and just like Lindsey said, it only took 2 days. You can do it!
Two words for you COLD TURKEY! Don't cave you can do it!
Put them in a box, pack said box away in the garage, let Tat-the-Brat cry it out. I never had a bottle problem, but sippies were sorely missed.
i got to say, light babies = no broken back when they fal asleep and you need to carry them! both of my guys were tiny and i realize now what a blessing it was!
