Doesn't he look so sleepy? Today we gave him his last bottle before bed. We cut out the morning bottle a couple weeks ago. Then we decided to go ahead and get rid of the night bottle as soon as we were out of formula. And today was the day. After Benjamin's 1 year check up at the pediatrician's office we had discussed getting rid of the bottles by the time he was 15 months. But, that didn't quite happen. It seemed like Benjamin still needed them at night to calm himself down before bed. And the morning bottle was just because we were lazy and it was easier to make a bottle at 6am when you're not quite awake yourself instead of trying to feed Benjamin yogurt or cereal or scrambled eggs. So yeah, at least they are gone by 17 months! Now I just need to figure out what else to feed him during the day to make up for the calories he won't be getting from the formula. This kid already eats none stop during the day!
