One of the down falls of nursing and never feeding my child a bottle at home is that I get to miss the sight of her cute little baby hands holding her own bottle.
This weekend we had a long car ride. She woke up hungry and we had no time/place to pull over and feed her. I had just finished pumping and decided to give her the expressed milk in a bottle. This was the first time in a few months I've seen my own child with a bottle. I handed it to her, fully expecting to have to hold it for her, but then she wrapped her cute little chubby fingers around it and started drinking all on her own.
I was stunned. I had no idea. My husband knew this. My parents knew she could do this. My dad even said if she is in a reclined position, she will balance it on her feet and hold it up.
It's really incredibly cute and it makes me realize how quickly she is growing up. I'm glad she's learning the skills needed to hold her own bottle though and that's she's so adorable doing it.
