Dave and I are coffee drinkers; it’s certainly a necessity before starting my day. For Ajax his daily starter is his morning bottle. It’s his coffee. For a while we had been tapering the amount of his morning bottle and really he was only drinking about 2 – 4 oz, but we’d all gotten into the habit of giving him a bottle first thing when he got up. Since we decided to start weaning off the bottle we thought that starter bottle should be the first to go. Ajax, however, is having a hard time of it. I’ve given him a sippy cup in lieu of the bottle first thing in the morning, but he is unconvinced that that is how he should start his day. It definitely going to take a while for him to let go of his bottle.
On another developmental note, Ajax can totally walk, he just chooses not to. Dave and I sat on either side of the living room, spaced about 10 ft apart and Ajax was perfectly capable of walking back and forth between us. He even at one point started to lose his balance, stopped, corrected himself and then continued walking. It was hilarious.
