First time without a bedtime bottle ...

... and he did great.  I don't know whether to be excited or completely heart-broken.

I just made sure he had a really good dinner, with a full sippy of milk ... then we did bath, jammies, and two touch/feel books.  I gave him his lovey, kissed him goodnight, and put him down. 

I expected screaming, flailing, crying ... instead he babbled quietly just like he always does, and then I guess fell asleep.  He didn't even cry when some dipstick salesman came by to sell me OILCHANGES at 8pm.  (WTF BTW????)

I guess we'll see how the next few nights go ... and then pack up all the bottles.  *sniff

    Isn't it weird, all of the stages we go through.  I've never been so happy to be done with bottles! Even though when we quit, I was a bit sad.  He's becoming such a big boy!

    What a big boy! Sad at the same time. I'm dreading the day DS stops nursing. I didn't think he was that attached to the bottle since he has had maybe 15 in his life, but he refuses to drink breastmilk from a sippy. I tried it the other day. I transferred it to a bottle and he drank it up. I don't understand people and why they come so late to sell things. The other night we had someone selling Kleenex at our door at 9:15 PM. Really? I buy those at the grocery store.

    I know what you mean though. I think I am hanging onto the bottles because it's one of the last "baby" things we have. I still miss nursing and giving her the bottle is our cuddle time. I really need to get over it or I'll be putting my teenager down with a bottle.

    Aww he is such a big boy! 

    Putting up the bottles was a hard thing for me too.  That is when I realized he is not a baby anymore.  :(

    We do cuddle time right before I put him down for bed.  I stand at the crib and we hug for about 5 min or so and he goes down...I love my cuddle time.

    I do this sometimes too. And then I go in the living room and cry because she goes down without a peep and I think she is such a big girl and such a good girl.

    And now I am crying again. WTF is wrong with me?!

    He does now too.....and know he know when it is time for bed.  I always say "tell daddy night night" and he puts his head right on my shoulder.  He give daddy a kiss and we go upstairs and cuddle.  I can't give that up....Gawd I hope he is not 15 and I am still trying to pick him up to cuddle before bed. LOL

    I lost it last night too.  I walked out of the room, shut the door and DH was standing there waiting for me.  I burst into tears and nuzzled into his shoulder.  I can't believe my baby isn't a baby anymore. Every day he gets more and more independent ... it is SERIOUSLY triggering my baby fever.
