Melt My Heart

Sue us for bad parenting, but C still uses a bottle.  He never had pacifiers as a baby, in fact, he would gag on them if you tried to put one in his mouth.  But from three months on, he always had bottles of pumped breastmilk when I was at work.  He must have grown some attachment to the bottle, because this boy loves his "ba-bo" and uses it like a pacifier at night.

The way he puts his hand palm-down to hold the bottle up is the cutest habitual little move that melts my heart.  Makes me remember that "just right" feeling of sucking my thumb when I was a little kid - I can totally relate!  It's his self-soothing mechanism.
