Bottles No More!

It's that time again... actually, it's past that time. Zak is almost 16 months old and our pediatrician advised us to stop giving him bottles at 12 months. But there just never seemed to be a good time; someone was either travelling or Zak was sick or having tubes put on his ears. But the main reason was that we had finally gotten Zak to sleep well and we weren't in a hurry to mess that up. I was starting to imagine a 5 year old Zak still going to bed with a bottle... it was time to give it up.

But in the end it turned out we had no reason to worry. Zak didn't mind giving up his bottle in the least. No more bottle washing! No more expensive formula! More free space on our counters! The downside, of course, is something that's been our minds; Zak's not a baby anymore. He's turned into a little boy right in front our eyes.
