Weaning part 2

Weaning Mr. Anderson is going well so far!  I am down to nursing him one time a day (right before bed time) and he is doing really well with this.  He still will not take a bottle and gets really mad when I offer him one.  He screams, turns his head, shoves it away, smacks at my face and thrashes around.  Hmm...he is just not a fan of that thing! HA! I have pretty much stopped offering him a bottle, but instead, he is drinking milk from a sippy cup all through the day.  I have it out by him when he's playing and he drinks from it continuously, and especially at meals.  This way, I know he's at least getting enough milk during the day (or at least, I am hoping he is...). 

Cal always had a sippy cup by him when playing, but it was filled with water.  I am still offering Andy water, but I am trying hard now to just get the milk in him.

And, I don't want to jinx anything, but Andy slept 13 hours last night! True to Williamson kid fashion, he waited until now (almost 10.5 months) to sleep through...just like big brother Cal--almost to the day...! He has slept 12 hours the past few nights and then 13 last night.  I pray that he will keep this up as I drop the last nursing before bed time.  I think I am going to attempt a bottle before bed when that time comes (this weekend), just to say I tried it. 

After having a week of company after a week in Mexico, it's time to have another adjustment period! Cal got a little spoiled having his grandparents and then his aunt here this past week.  There was always someone there to play with him whenever he wanted.  Today, he has had several fits because we have not dropped everything we were doing to go play trains with him.  I will break him of this soon, hopefully...

Not too much going on this week...I am just looking forward to getting back on track... in time for our next trip: to the beach for Easter!  I'll get everyone nice and back on routine and then I will throw a wrench into it all.  Why not?!  That's what makes life interesting...ha!

And, two random pictures because a pictureless post is boring:
