I am so proud of us! Gordon has passed two huge milestones the last few months; one of them I am a little ashamed to admit—he is finally off the bottle! I know, I know totally embarrassing! I have plenty of excuses but I will spare you all. It was so much easier than I expected. I thought it was going to be painful for all of us since the first time we tried to even get him to drink out of a sippie cup was hard. He did so good and he doesn’t even take anything to bed with him; no milk or water. And he eats so much better during the day. I don’t know why I didn’t make this connection; he never ate very good and it was a constant struggle with us. Now that he is not drinking so much milk he has a much better appetite—it makes sense!
Also, Gordon is now sleeping in a toddler bed. He does so good. The first night he went right to sleep. We bought him a Disney Cars bedspread for Christmas hoping that would make him excited to sleep in a bed. I don’t know if that was what did it for him, but… Anyway, we do put a gate up across his doorway so he can’t get out in the middle of the night or anything, so I’ll bet that helps keep him in his bed—knowing that its there. The one drawback is that he doesn’t take a nap anymore. He didn’t really take a nap in his crib either but at least I could put him in there for awhile. Now we do quiet play time in his room and sometimes it works and other times it doesn’t. Next big milestone: Potty training. I think we will save that one till the new baby is at least 4 months! And I am not excited.
