Porter is still using his bottle...is that bad? I tried transferring his milk to the sippy but when I hand it to him he just throws it down, plops to the ground, and cries. I'll try again soon. He takes juice in a sippy, but that milk...it's just not as good unless it's in the bottle. =P Today was the second time he voluntarily handed me his binkie though!!! I didn't ask for it or anything. When I went to get him out of him crib he handed me his blanket and teddy (normal 'ritual'). Then he took the binkie out of his mouth, ripped it from being attached to his shirt, and just handed it over before I picked him up to get him out. I was so proud! In more recent family news, tonight we were invited to a friends parent's house for swimming and dinner and it was so fun!!! Nice heated indoor pool wasn't enough for Porter though. He was mad and cried until his daddy got in to swim. By then he was content but when daddy put him in the floating car with a steering wheel, true happiness ensued and it was all smiles from then on. It was a great night with wonderful friends. =) Porter is really livin' the good life. ;)

Olivia took a bottle till the day she turned 18 months. We would just offer her milk in a sippy every so often and the day she turned 18 months she never once asked for a bottle. She was fine with taking the sippy cup so we just kept giving it to her. Maybe Porter will just give up his bottle one day.
I took the bottle away at 12 months, but I started giving him sippy cups ever so often when he was nine months just so he would be familiar with what they are. I dont think its a bad thing that porter still uses a bottle right now, but you might want to start giving him a sippy here and there and I bet in a couple months he will be fine with sippy cup.
It seems to me that all little ones have their own agenda and as a mom I think you are doing great at picking up his signals. Josie as well as others I have heard about are all going through the same thing. It seems it takes a while to transition. I think it comes down to a comfort thing for them. With him noticing so many new things that's a very comforting thing for him to come back to. I think you have done well introducing him to other things. It can be so frustrating but I am finding that I have to be patient and just keep introducing the sippy cup to her. I had to do this with solids and she finally started eating them at 11 months.
To Cute!!! Looks like your having to much fun with that kid... Love ya!
