Bye Bye Bottle

Aylin Jewel is 13 months old today and we have officially been bottle free for 4 days! The first night was rough, but she has been fine ever since. She is drinking around 8-16 oz of whole milk and 8 oz of juice/water everyday. AJ has also decided that she can no longer eat baby food our of a jar, she only wants Gerber Graduates or real food. I know it sounds like a cliche but the really do grow up way too fast!
We took this picture at our Memorial Day cookout with great friends from church. Notice those teeth. She has 4 all the way through, at least 3 halfway through, and about 4 spots that are really swollen - POOR BABY! She has really been testing the waters with the hwole biting thing, and actually bit out of frustration for the 1st time, our poor friend Rachel was the victim. Which led to me giving my 1st real little spanking which brought tears to MY eyes, as well as hers :(
Finally, this picture was taken at our church's graduation party. She had a blast playing with friends and climbing all over everything. Aylin Jewel loves to climb! I love that I have a little monkey, but wow, does she make you exhausted chasing after her all the time. I can only imagine the fun walking will bring to us!

Just stay away from those nasty Gerber meatsticks!

She is SO BIG! And beautiful!

Give her a big hug from Auntie Stephie.
