No more bottles (for the boys)

Tonight was the first night that we didn't give the boys their bedtime bottle. We have slowly reduced the number of bottles they take each day over the last few months, as they have started perfecting the sippy cups. We have held onto the bedtime bottle in the routine because they had not been big milk drinkers during the day. In a lot of ways, we still thought of them as preemies that had to drink enough to grow. But in reality, they are big boys now! They are still not huge fans of milk, but they will happily get their calcium from grilled cheeses.

So we celebrated this milestone with a bottle of our own - a bottle of champagne.

That is great news!! Hard to believe they are growing so fast. Let's see, our bottle news is that Liam is up to 5.5 - 6.0 oz at a time. But he'll be on the bottle for while yet. :)

Your bottle was a good idea. Champagne for everyone, dahling!!

Love
Lala
