Holding the bottle

Though we'd noticed most babies Elsie's age were now holding their own bottles, Elsie had been very content to let us do it for her.  It was fairly enjoyable for us to do this so we didn't mind.  We also figured that since we'd chosen to use glass bottles it might be just as well if she didn't toss them on the ground.  But now finally she's taken to holding her own.  And we are happy about that too.  Maggie figured this out when she fell alseep holding a bottle for Elsie and Elsie grabbed it herself and started drinking.  The little trickster!

 

 

Every morning Elsie goes through the drawers as Maggie gets ready for work.  Neverending fun!

My son, now 9 months is also rather content to let me hold it for him. Though he does intermittently take it, it mostly to play with the bottle, not to drink from it. While I will appreciate the extra time it will give me, I will also miss that bonding time with him when he does decide to take the bottle himself.
