It took a lot of patience, persistence, trying out different sippy cups, different liquids in the sippy cups and even different consistencies of those liquids, but I think we finally figured out how to get Kinley to drink from a sippy cup all by herself!!
You might be thinking "What is the tasty liquid that would entice Kinley to finally drink from her cup?" Well, it is banana flavored whole milk from the Shatto Milk Company. The Shatto Milk Company is a local dairy farm that does not use any growth hormones in their cows. It comes in glass bottles and is sold at local grocery stores such as Hen House and Hy-Vee as well as Whole Foods. It also comes in fun flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, orange (think dreamsicle popsicle), root beer (think root beer floats) and of course, Kinley's favorite...banana. Shatto milk was recommended by Kinley's OT and since whole milk is pretty thick already we don't even have to thicken it!

What a big girl you are, Kinley - good job!!!
OMG! She is the cutest ever! I have a hard time believing this is the same little girl that I saw in October who had such a hard time with feedings. Any little noise or distraction and she would stop her bottle feeding. And look at her now! Unbelievable! Way to go Kinley! You guys must be so proud of her (and yourselves!)!
Kinley, you are adorable!! And such a big girl! It would be fun to be at your party on Monday, but please send pictures! You have come so far in one year. We are all so proud of you and your Mom and Dad for all your hard work. Have a great weekend, and share hugs with everyone!
Love - Great Aunt Karen
That's wonderful! I am so proud of her!! :)
