Farewell Mr. Baba (Bottle)

Last Tues (one week ago) Mason decided that life would be OK without his baba.  He just didn't ask for it for hours and hours....so we decided to push the issue (gently).  A couple nights required more love and patience, but for the most part it was no problem.  I hid the babas until this AM...figured a week was good enough. 

So I just went to put them in the garbage (secretly) and took a picture (for the blog ya know!?).  Well Mason was there in an instant.  He grabbed his baba and stuck it in his mouth.  I said, "Yucky!"  Mason threw it back in the garbage, slammed the lid, and walked away...no questions,no whining, no crying...WOW!!!!

Throwing the bottles (babas) away.

Moment of silence...lol!

Mr. Sippi is never far away.  He is found in many places...bed, toybox, table, in shoes...etc.
 
The ever present drop of milk is usually still on Mason's chiny chin chin... look closely :)

I am a little sad.  I loved how excited he got about a fresh cold baba.  I loved he had a security in it.  I loved holding him and rocking him with it.  I loved night time with a snuggle and his mewings while he drank...sigh!  How fast time goes...

So, I guess this really is it.  Bye-bye baba.
