Aaron no longer drinks out of a bottle! Not because he doesn’t want to, he just doesn’t require it like he used to. We cut out his bottle feeding about 90% but were having issues with his bottle before bed. We used to give him 4 ounces, then we cut it to 3 ounces and then finally 2. We were stuck there for about 3 months and finally we tried something very, very strange: Meri suggested me not giving him the bottle on some random night and instead read with him.  So now our nightly routine is bath, change for bed, sit in the rocking chair and read 14 books!  They are tiny books but Aaron loves them.  He loves his “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” book.  There is a sequel to that called “Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?“.  Both of those books are by Bill Martin Jr. and (illustrated by) Eric Carle Another one of his favorite night-time books is a Dr. Seuss book called “Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?“.  At the end of each of those books is a recap of all of the sights and sounds.  I really feel like Aaron has started to speak more clearly since I have been reading these books to him at night.  Meri reads the same books to him during the day whenever he wants (and he wants that a lot!).
