Independence Day

Lately Cole has been trying to hold his bottle when we feed him. In fact, we have to wrestle his busy little hands away from the bottle because he pulls it out of his mouth and it takes forever to feed him. He holds the bottle up for a second, then has one of those baby spasms which jerks the bottle out. It seemed as though he would be a lot more successful if he had something smaller to hold onto. So today Chris approached him at eating time with this transition bottle (transition from bottle to sippy cup) to see if he would in fact be able to feed himself. Luckily, Cole has never had a "preference" issue so long as at the other end of the thing, there is milk. But, Chris noticed that the Born Free product parts are interchangeable, so he eventually put a nipple on this yellow bottle and Cole was able to drink much easier from that. He was pretty successful although he couldn't escape the baby spasms and needed some help tipping it up (notice the teddy bear prop :)). He actually managed to get about half of the bottle down then I picked him up and fed him the rest.
