jen, rewind your life about 3-4 weeks ago.now, does this pic look familiar to you?
I'M SO SORRY!!! :)
Before I went back to work part time, I was pumping and practicing with the bottle once a day. tenley was doing GREAT! i was very impressed, so slacked off a bit as far as the "training" went. BAD IDEA! the first week and a half with the babysitter, tenley was absolutely REFUSING the bottle! she would have rather starved. in fact she did a few times. went 5 hours w/out eating. i tried about 6 different bottle brands, and was getting so upset. about to quit my job. finally had a crazy intuition to try a sippy cup my friend had given me at the baby shower. tenley LOVED it! THANK YOU KATIE HONE! funny baby! so poor jen has been thawing out breast milk, and giving it to my crazy picky baby ever since. now we are practicing with the bottle again at home, preparing her for "weaning" sometime in the future, and as you can see, she is doing much better. good girl tenley!! it is going to be one wild transition. i'm scared. i'm sure jen is too! ha! poor babysitter. :( jen, you are the greatest! so patient. thank you so much!

I am SOOOOOOOOOO happy you found me Rachelle. I was going to ask you at Trunk-or-Treat if you blogged, but completely forgot! I am so excited to "stalk" your blog, I hope you don't mind if I put you on my "Friends and Family" list!
BTW, Tenley is SOOOOOOO advanced; holding her bottle by herself. AMAZING baby girl you have there! Tian's impressed for sure!
She is getting so big! The picture of her holding her bottle is so funny! We can't wait to see you guys!!
Who knew this parenthood stuff could be SO stressful and crazy sometimes??! I sure didn't. I mean, everyone told me to "prepare for my life to change" forever, and I believed them...but you can't FULLY appreciate that phrase until you've BEEN there! Glad you've found something that's working for you now. And good luck with any future changes.
