Bye Bye Bottles

Ben has been using a sippy cup during the day for a long time now, but we still used bottles for milk in the morning and before our nap/bedtime. I had been reluctant to get rid of them since our routine was working so well, but I was also feeling that he was a bit old to still be sucking on a bottle. So we put all the bottles away this weekend (and said welcome back to my old friend counter space) and I'm pleased to report that Ben made the transition with no real problems. There was some minor whining, but he didn't even cry. I, on the other hand, did weep when I put everything away. He's just growing up so fast.
