My Big Baby

I was not sad when my little girl turned one. I was excited and loving each new stage she was entering. But today I got very sad...my Little M is not so little anymore. My baby is growing up and officially more of a toddler now than a baby. Today my baby officially gave up her bottle:(

After my previous post, Skip and I decided to take the plunge and ween Little M off the bottle. She has been drinking water out of a sippy cup for months, and after doing some research, we realize she should also be drinking he milk out of one as well.

I told Skip last night that we should make the switch. I was nervous about doing it, only because that was one more step away from babyhood. But Skip let me sleep in this morning and when I woke up he said that he gave Little M her morning milk in a sippy cup. And she drank all of it! I wanted to cry:( My big girl. She did well the rest of the day as well...she really didn't seem to miss the bottle.

I'm happy that the transition is going well, and I hope it continues to go as well. But like I said, I'm just getting a little sad that my baby is growing up.
Goodbye baby.....







....hello toddler!!

    Good for her! (and you!) I have no clue how I'm going to wean Jack from nursing. I think we'll start with night weaning. I miss my sleep!

    Congrats little M! I can't believe she is no longer a baby but a toddler now! She will always be your baby, she doesn't need a bottle for that!

    Awww...I can't really relate as I don't have kids yet but hopefully one day I will be able to!

    I'm glad that she's doing well. (and that you are too!)

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
