Bye, Bye Bottle

Seth has been weaned from all of his bottles, except for the night time one, for about 2 months now. I have always heard that the night time bottle is a difficult one to get rid of. When we weaned him off the daytime bottles, he was fine unless he saw a bottle on the counter or if he was at daycare and another baby had a bottle he would want one too. I thought for sure Seth would have a hard time letting the night time one go, but for the past week when I feed him before bed, he only takes a couple of sips and then goes to sleep. Last night we decided to try and just give him a sippy cup with some water and it worked!!! He didn't seem to care at all. I was very excited, but at the same time kinda sad. My little boy is growing up so fast and the night time bottle was probably the last thing that was keeping him as my "baby". He truly now is a toddler...walking around (and running) every where, problem solving, trying to talk, and now only sippy cups to drink out of. Oh it goes too fast! I love seeing him grow and learn new things every day, but I will always want him as my "baby".
