Avent bottles, you fed our babies well for 15 months and allowed tons of great snuggle time with babies. Drying rack, you did an excellent job of organizing and drying our bottles, but now it is time for you to find another home to do your job. Thanks for everything and good luck in your new home!
Our counter for the past 15 months
For the past 15+months bottles have had a very prominent place on our kitchen counter. Not to mention all the time washing, filling, and warming bottles 2 – 8 times a day for 15 months. On Wednesday I was finally able to remove all my bottles and the drying rack from my counter! Yes, the babies are now done with their bottles. We started the process of no bottles for naps and bed about a week and a half ago, but I didn’t want to take the bottles away too soon, in case I needed them. After a week of Sippy cups before bed, I think it is safe to say we are starting a new phase of our lives, HUGE GROCERY BILLS! We can’t believe how much our kids eat now. There are some days when I am sure the babies are eating more than Taylor. Going from three people eating, to seven (almost over night it seems) has been hard for me to get used to. We hardly have left overs any more. I need to start coming up with some big meals that will last a day or two in the fridge. Regardless of the amount of food they eat I am sure glad I have gotten rid of the bottles and drying rack from our kitchen sink. (I do miss the extra snuggle time, but now I can get all the babies in bed in about 15 minutes by myself.) Crazy how things change so quickly. Gone are the days of babies, look out toddlers!
Look at all this space!
