No more AM bottles!!!---more walking update

This morning was our attempt to get rid of the AM bottles and so far so good. When they woke up about 7:45, we immediately feed them breakfast of eggs, pancakes, and whole milk. Then we had a snack for them at 10 with bananas and cereal. They get so excited for the bananas! They had about 10 oz of milk each kid, total 30 oz. and by the time they were done with breakfast and the snack, they had about 6 oz. left total. Not bad, considering the pedi said they would probably only drink 2-6 oz. a day w/whole milk. I'm so glad they didn't miss their bottles at all. We picked today to wean them from the AM bottles since today's Dan's off Friday, that way I could have help in the morning and we have 3 days to get them into this new routine. YEA, I'm so happy it's working out! Will attempt to wean the PM bottles at a later date. I love this, we'll save so much more $ with not having to buy as much formula! Way to go Cote kids!!!
Walking news---Hudson is officially on par with his siblings. He's been taking about the same amount of steps as everyone. They look so funny walking, the boys like to put their arms up, smile/laugh, and walk at the same time, as if they know what they're doing and they like it. Skyler likes to either hold a toy or have things in her mouth. The funniest is when she has these (6) tiny colored teddy bears we have (to help them tell colors) in her mouth and hands and walk.
