When Bennett turned one month he decided he was done with the bottle. Every time anyone would try to give him a bottle he'd scream. I spent the next month trying to get him to take a bottle. He's an aggresive eater and he eats very often (to keep up his manly figure). My doctor suggested I (or Chris if he's home) give him a bottle every night to help. That would be nice IF he would take a bottle. So, I made sure every day at least once I tried giving him a bottle. One day I'm sitting in the chair trying to give him a bottle and he's getting madder and madder. Ella wonders over to me and puts her cute little chin on the arm of the chair and as serious as can be looks me in the eye and says, "Mom he just wants the boob!" I about died laughing. She's so dang cute sometimes!
In case you're wondering, after weeks of screaming he is taking a bottle again. Yipee! It does need to be warmed to the right temperature and he needs to be positioned in the perfect position, but he's taking a bottle. Now if I could just get Chris to offer to give him one maybe at 2:30 a.m. my life would be blissful.

success! I'm glad he's taking a bottle for you! I lost that battle 3 times. Not on three instances...on three children.
That is hilarious about Ella. Cute girl!
Katherine also likes to comment on how Caroline likes to drink milk from my boob. So far she does not mention it in public.
