Milestone Monday

Happy Monday to everyone. Due to the weather being miserable here today in Dallas - chilly, cloudy, foggy - Brayden and I stayed in the house all day. Ryan was home too because, well - he works from home. :) We had a good day because we finally were victorious in a battle we had been fighting for a few weeks now. As some of you read last week we have been having trouble with Brayden wanting to take a bottle. After hearing lots of advice on what to do from friends & family, reading numerous parent message boards online and various how-to baby books, a phone call to the pediatrician, and a trip to Babies R Us to buy several types of bottles we really felt like we had tried everything. I kept hearing about this one type of bottle called the Adiri Natural Nurser - there are only two places in Dallas that sell them and when I called the places here to see if they had any they were out of stock. There was even a waiting list at one place! Since these particular bottles seemed to be in high demand I figured they must work, right? I had to have one. Luckily I could get them online. They finally got here last Friday. Ryan tried to give him a bottle today and guess what?!?!?! He TOOK it. A whole 2 ounces. Yeah! Ryan said he thought that he probably would've eaten more but we only had been trying a few ounces at a time to keep from wasting milk. I couldn't believe how excited I was! It's amazing how the smallest milestone can make you so proud of your baby. For all of you mothers out there - if you ever run into the same problem - please try this bottle. http://www.adiri.com/ I highly recommend it. We still have a way to go - one day of taking the bottle doesn't mean he will take it tomorrow. But I am hopeful!
