Bye bye baba

It's bottle no more for Super.  We were told at our last visit with Dr. Melvin that he likes to see babies off their bottles by the time they are one. Chris and I thought we would go ahead and begin this process the week before Kal-el's first birthday. It just seemed like too cruel an undertaking for birthday week. I think in our minds we anticipated Kal-el to put up a bigger fuss but he adapted really well to sippy cup only. I'm really glad that we had already introduced the sippy cup the weeks prior to the complete switch. I'm sure this made life a little easier on all of us! We are still working on no milk at bedtime and this is proveing to be a bit more challenging but we are taking a gradual approach and weining him down to one a night and then NONE a night. Sorry man man. One day when you a little older we will occasionally sneak milk and cookies to bed to make up for this current cruelty. I may have a harder time then him b/c in my mind babies = bottles. If he's not taking a bottle than he is less baby"ish" and more toddler. I will be just fine though. I really can't stand the thought of ever holding my child back for my own selfish reasons. I look so forward to the day that we can have little conversations and playdates. I can't wait to see more of his personality come through. No matter how big he gets or how much he towers over me which at this rate will be soon he will always always always be Mommy's baby. Love you Super toddler :)
