weaning

Matt has been working round the clock so Makaela and I have been spending some quality time together...like our 6 mile walk today. I know I say this everytime I write, but she is growing so fast. This week she gave up her nightime bottle. Before, our nighttime routine was a bath, brushing teeth, bottle, rocking to music and sleep...she was usually half passed out before she hit the mattress. We are now bathing, having a sippy cup of formula as we read books (she is soooo into books and make believe reading to me), brush teeth and then straight to bed. What's great is that she is still blowing kisses as I leave the room...as if I just did something great. Kids can really make you feel like superheroes.
