Max is 2 years old!

Max turned 2 on Feb. 1, 2012. We took him for his wellness check up the next day and here are his stats: 28lb 10oz (50%) and 34 1/4" (50-75%). The doctor says he's growing great, in fact, his growth curve is increasing. Now that Max is 2, I know it's finally time to start making him give up the baby bottle. In fact, at the last check up, the doctor has already urged us to do it. I think I just really wanted to hang on to him being a baby a little longer. On the first night, Max asked for "nai nai" (milk in Chinese) and I distracted him and got him to sleep. The next night, we got him ready for bed in his PJ's, and he ran to Rick and said "good night Daddy" and then asked for "nai nai" again. When Rick said no, he started to cry and said "nai nai, nai nai" with tears coming down his face. It was so sad and funny to see. In the morning, when he asks for milk, we give it to him in a sippy cup and sometimes he looks at it and say "No!" But we don't relent, so we've been more or less bottle free for 1 week. One night last week, he woke up in the middle night and was really upset, so I broke down and gave him the bottle. Sigh, I will miss him being a baby although I'm looking forward to him being a little boy and watching his personality blossom.
