With mama bear Danielle down in Florida for a few days it leaves Daddy and Sienna adventuring together. Most specifically the opportunity for us to get Sienna drinking milk exclusively from the bottle.
This has been a relatively new project that has the following effect: Sienna takes her milk bottle and chucks it across the room. Even at day care she has changed from slurping down 15-19 ounces to a mere 5 ounces.
Sienna got down to drinking milk last night...at five o'clock in the morning.
Tears streaming down her tiny face, she screamed like a banshee for seven minute. Let me back up a bit--back up 45 minutes to be exact. That is when Sienna first woke up. She does that sometimes, she will wake up, cry for a while and then fall back asleep.
Not this morning. Not with Mommy in Florida.
Hey who doesn't love a screaming child at five in the morning? She was expressing her frustration at having a bottle. I don't blame her. You should see me if someone steals bacon from me.
I had to laugh as I sat there naked on the floor of the kitchen (too much information?) while Sienna was in her boppy using her milk bottle as a javelin. Even Scudder joined in the activity, mostly trying to lick the nipple of the bottle whenever it rolled across the floor.
It was a fun family event.
Sienna eventually allowed the bottle into her mouth, taking a good 25 minutes to drink four ounces. It reminded me of her being a newborn when it would take a long time to feed her. No big deal really.
The moral of the story: she got four ounces of milk and the hope of continued drinking.
