Bottle? What Bottle?

We have started weening Austin off the bottle. So far he doesn't get one any more when he wakes up from sleeping. That did not go over very well at first. He likes his bottle first thing in the morning, he's a hungry boy. Well I made him a cup of milk, not working mom..So I got him a "snacky holder" and filled it with Cheerios..Now we are talking..ha ha ha..He is very happy with his milk and Cheerios in the morning. Down sides..the Cheerios are very small and they fall out of the holder if he turns it the right way or puts his whole hand in it, the dog doesn't really eat them (I guess because they are too small for her to really enjoy..lol), and the vaccumm cleaner will NOT pick them up unless they are crushed..so Hansel and Gretel can walk through my house every morning and not get lost..Today we got home from picking Keira up from school, had lunch and went down for a nap..NO BOTTLE..YAY..he went right to sleep...Slept for an hour and woke up..uh-oh..thinkin' the whole no bottle thing has made him hungry..he walked, well stumbled around for 30 minutes and drank almost a whole cup of milk and voila' back to sleep...So tonight was doggy school. Shane put him to bed and did use the bottle, said that Austin wouldn't go to sleep with out it. Well he woke up at 10 pm and was fussing..we are still not sure what the problem is, but the good news is he threw the bottle. He preferred the cup of milk and a biscuit than a bottle..Am I happy about feeding him a biscuit at 11 pm, no, is it better than him attached to the bottle, yes...Well now it's after midnight and he is still fussing and screaming...WOW..oh well..let's look at the positive of everything...(I am aware that this doesn't mean that he is completely off the bottle, just looking at the positive)
