it's a christmas miracle!

Well, techinically, Christmas was almost 3 weeks ago...but considering my nieces and nephews are still on their "Holiday Break" I consider this close enough to Christmas. What's the miracle, you ask?
Behold!
Yep, that's Jolee taking a bottle. From Mitch. Without a peep, mind you! Out of the blue, I decided to bust out the pump and give it a go...and Lo and Behold! She took it! I was literally in tears watching our little girl drink out of a bottle...something she hasn't done in - I don't even know, 4 months or so?
Wonder why I'm so excited? Let me refresh your memory.
Anyhoo-it's only been one time, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Here's hoping (PRAYING) for continued success in the bottle-feeding department.
* Not to mention FREEDOM for Mommy!!

Hooray for bottles! I hope she sticks with it! And sorry for the late gift - it's on its way!

Good for you guys! I hope she sticks with it too!

I pumped and started Maya on a bottle really early because I had to go back to school but let me tell ya, I'm going to do the same thing with this next one because there's no substitute for the FREEDOM!

Yeah for Jolee taking a bottle! It is a big accomplishment after they've 'forgotten' or haven't been able to take one. we went throught that with Caysen... Cade is a little better as long as we use Avent bottles and the milk is warm enough. Hope she takes it again, and again, so you do get some freedom!
