OK foks. I'd say this is a pretty big one. We sometimes throw the "milestone" term around a little casually, but I assure you this time it's for real!! Tonight, as I was feeding babygirl, she got a little frisky and started grabbing for the bottle. One hand, then two hands... and just like that she clenched the bottle tightly between her two hands and basically wrenched it out of my grasp. At first she played with it, biting on the nipple and testing out her range of motion. But, within about 2-3 minutes she was taking 5-10 second drinks on her own. Early on she would let the bottle sag a little too much and suck air, but she quickly figured out how to correct that and you'll see in the photos she had an excellent tilt going. So stunned was I that I just watched for a bit. Then, I quickly grabbed the video camera and snapped a few still images as well as a few minutes of video.
By the way, I had this whole video set to an awesome Sigur Ros track. But, after three upload attempts which resulted in failure due to "content restriction" I just gave up and stripped it out. I guess Google have a room full of servers that do nothing but check to see if you ripped someone off and didn't pay the artist or the RIAA. It's a good thing there aren't many feature length films with Willa drinking from a bottle or I would have had even more issues...
