Got Milk?

This morning we were officially given the go ahead to give Hannah milk. She has been down to nursing twice a day and her doctor wanted me to give her either formula which she hated- in fact would throw the sippy cup away, or yogurt or cottage cheese.

When we got to the point that she was eating yogurt at just about every meal I knew something had to give.

Well, today she talked milk for the first time and LOVED it! I was so relieved. However, we did learn some lessons today, the most important being that milk is only a meal time beverage from now on. This pronouncement comes down as a result of milk being spilled all over my kitchen floor. At least it is hard wood and cleans easily! Hannah likes to carry her drinks wherever she goes and then just drops them when she is distracted. Result: milk spills everywhere. There is one resident of this house that does not mind this eventuality in the least- that would be Draca- my little milk fiend who knows what opening the door to the refrigerator means. She loudly meows until either the milk is given to her or the fridge door closes.

The downside to my cleanup crew is that she does not get up the stickiness that the milk leaves behind, so I am going to mop my floor tonight and henceforth milk is a highchair only beverage.
