Holding Her Own

Claire has shown interest on holding her own bottle.  Addison never held a bottle EVER - even when she could have - she just wanted someone else to feed her.  Come to think of it, she still is a baby bird and would prefer that we spoon her food into her mouth.  Oliver and I just made a pact that neither of us will feed her this week - she isn't going to starve - and I really need her to be more independent because I don't have time to spoon feed two kids for every meal.  

Back to Claire - this is her on her four month birthday - Jan 24th - holding her own bottle. 

As you can see it isn't a flawless event and I won't let her hold her own bottle until her feeding is over because I like to feed her but she's getting big really fast!
