BOTTLE

Little Stinker.

In the past two days this little stinker has decided that she'd rather starve than drink from a bottle. We're trying not to freak out here on the home front. After all, we have EIGHT DAYS to get this new found behavior corrected before I return to work!

We introduced the bottle to AA when she was three weeks old. She wasn't a superstar, but she seemed to take it just fine. A and I haven't been the best about enforcing a daily routine of giving her a bottle ... perhaps something I'm regretting now! I was away from the house for two of her feedings yesterday ... and I came home to two full bottles, a screaming babe, and a frustrated husband. "She's way more complex than JP" is what I was told ... and so the life of raising a daughter begins! She nursed just fine from me the rest of the day. But today we are having a repeat of yesterday. Hmmm. I'm going to blame this new behavior on her runny nose she just picked up from big brother ... although I'm not exactly comforted in knowing that I was the exact same way as a baby! My mom tells me I never ate from a bottle.

Like mother, like daughter.
