This may seem like something little to some but this is seems like a huge step to me. Leila is finally drinking milk. When I stopped nursing Leila would not drink milk. I tried everything, I gave her skim, 1 %, 2%, whole, chocolate, strawberry, and bannana milk and tried it in all sorts of cups, water bottles or sippy's but she would have nothing to do with it all she wanted was water. This totally stressed me out because she is so tiny and a very picky eater and to top it off was not drinking milk which she really needs. But yesterday I gave it another try and for some reaseon she loved it. I don't know what changed her mind but I am so happy that she is drinking whole milk now. Now if I can get her to eat more maybe she will finally grow big enough so I can turn her car seat around.

Sorry Alisha, I'm with Leila.... did you ever see those huge water bottles on my desk. H2O baby!!!

No really, that's great news! It is always good to get a picky eater to eat something new!

Zach was just like that. He never liked milk or any dairy for that matter. He still won't drink it. Sometimes he'll eat a gogurt. Strange.

Good job Leila!! You would think the chocolate milk would have worked. (:

I would love to know about that trick. Neither of my girls will ever drink milk. It is a huge stress of my life. Way to go Leila!!

What's this about Banana milk? Never heard of it but it sounds delicious. I can't believe how big Leila is getting. It's official... we need to catch up.

Sad!! That is hard that she cryed! I think that Mia will be like that too! I think that it will be harder for her to talk to us :( Hey- Do you want to go get a mist on tan either tonight or tomorrow?
