Kicking Myself

Every time I have a baby I vow to myself that I will give him a bottle once a week to keep him used to it, so if I ever need to leave him with someone else he will do fine with it. I said the same thing when Luke was born and thought I'd actually have a pretty good chance at doing it because I had mutual every Wednesday night. Then Darrin was called to be the EQ president, and I was released. Luke hadn't had a bottle in about a month or so...and then Saturday I went to the grocery store, and I told Darrin just to give him a bottle when he woke up...Halfway through the grocery store I get the dreaded call...you know the one with the baby crying and screaming in the background?? Well, it'd happened again...Luke refused the bottle. We, of course, will continue to offer it to him and hope he gets used to it, but until then, Luke and I are inseparable.

He LOOKS about six months old in that second picture. He sure looks alot like Josh did. I think he's adorable. Give him a kiss on the neck for me.

Very cute baby! I told Ben we were doing a bottle for one meal a day when baby #2 comes, just for sanity's sake. He didn't understand why. It's a lot of pressure being inseparable. Best of luck to ya'll!

I can totally relate. Sabrina NEVER once took a bottle. I thought it was hard to motivate myself to give them a bottle when it's so much work. I bet he's still little enough that if you keep trying, he'll take it again. Good luck!

OH, I know this too well. I was still in class when Dylan was born and he took a bottle fine. Then school ended and he too, refused it and never took it again. I tried so hard with Ashlyn- nope. I am not even going to waste my time with Corbin. I am so impressed with you schedule of Luke's and having two other kids!

So frustrating!! I hate it when Dallas calls me so I usually "forget" the cell phone. Braden won't touch a bottle either!
