He's been playing at it for a couple of weeks; he'd get his grip on it, but his aim was all off, so he'd end up taking a nipple to the nose or dropping milk all over his hairline.
Today, though, the stars - and Jones's strengthening coordination - aligned, and he was able to hold his own bottle!
I am thrilled, if for no other reason than because it means I can Instagram while he's eating! Actually, like every other mother, I love to see him hit these milestones on the road to becoming a big boy.
We've also been working for awhile on the sippy cup. I want him totally off the bottle by a year, if not before. The sippy, however, has been slow going, but it's probably less that he can't handle it and more because I'm inconsistent in giving it to him.
I need to work on that!
Oh, and tooth number two has made its appearance (bottom right)! I guess that explains the fever from earlier this week?
