Look at that face, could you really take away her bottle (or bauble as she lovingly calls it). Yes, yes I can and I did. I said Sunday would be her last day to have it (no need to thank me ward members, I didn't want to hear her scream anymore than you did), but when she woke up Monday morning asking for it, I totally caved. I later regrouped, girded up my loins, and threw the darn thing in the garbage after she went to bed. This morning she whined a little and finally gave up and drank her milk out of the perfectly nice sippy cup I had given her. We celebrated by going to Walmart and buying some fancy new Elmo sippy's. Yea for big girls!!! Little big girls.*Just a note, yes she held her bottle the wrong way. It is designed with an angle in it to help promote semi-upright feeding (according to their website!) but she always held it wrong, even if you turned it the correct way she would immediately turn it back around.

I think she gave you that look on purpose. They know so much more than they let on...;) I always found that it's so much harder on the mom than on the child. Way to go Kellie!
How cute is she! You did better than I did on the bottle. I let Kari keep it until she was 2. With her being the last baby.... I didn't want to let go of her being my baby with a bottle. But now she is super happy with the sippy. She still asks for the bottle every once a while, but she is really asking for her sippy cup. She actually found a bottle in the cupboard the other day and said...
"Bottle... Kaka" I would call that Success!
Congrats on your achievement. Think how liberated you will be now. First the bottle, then potty training - yeah for you!
Oh Molly, you are such a good example to Elle. I guess since you are six days older that means that we have six more days to get rid of Elle's bottle. Wish me luck Molly, I will surely need it!
MEAN MOM!!!!!
You are such a good mom! I cant do it!!! Jetts Dr. even said at his 12 month check up that I need to get rid of the bottle. Not yet!! I think this one is more me than him. He is my baby! Maybe when he starts school :) J/K I feel it is coming soon! Yikes.
Kellie email me and I will invite you to my blog!
