Clueless

I thought I would let the picture speak for itself. It sums up the trouble I have been having trying to get Abby to drink from a bottle. 5 bottles and $50 later, I am no better off than when I started. She simply refuses to drink from a bottle. My last idea, which I will be trying out tomorrow, is to let my neighbor across the street feed her. A few people have told me that part of the problem is that I am the one trying to feed her and that is not how she wants to eat. I am hoping Jen has the magic touch. To be continued.
Funny story--when I was at Babies-R-Us today, I found the Adiri bottle. It is like the Cadillac of bottles to a breast fed baby. As I was taking it out of the box to get a closer look, Will in his usual very loud voice says, "I want to see it." Several of the women in the same aisle turn their heads to see what Will was talking about so I quietly and quickly handed the bottle to him so he wouldn't draw anymore attention to himself since I am not in the practice of letting my 2 1/2 year old son hold boob-like objects in his hands. As soon as he gets the bottle, he pauses for a moment, and then says quite loudly, "It's so cute Mom". I couldn't stop laughing. It brought a smile to my face all day.
On an unrelated note, I had a wonderful one hour reprieve with a lovely group of girls tonight. Thank you Jen for thinking of me. Unfortunately, my time was cut short because little Abby isn't feeling well. Lets hope she perks back up tomorrow.
