Your Daily Dose of Dotty...
I have been meaning to post that Dotty FINALLY got a tooth!!! She got it a week ago and it still is just barely visible but REALLY sharp! I have been so worried about feeding her stuff b/c she has no teeth and thus she is such a bottle baby but now I am hoping that she will get a mouth full of those little pearly whites and start eating food.
Although I have a feeling I am going to pay for my raising. I was such a picky eater (I have really grown since Tony came into my life) and Dotty is going to be just like me. So far all she likes is bananas, bread, and Dr. Pepper. I know, I know...bad mother. Trust me I know.
My pediatrician told me at her 1 year checkup (in which at that point she had no teeth) that I had to start feeding her more and start cutting out bottles. I in turn asked him when he would like to sign up to go on Dotty duty for the weaning process. I tried to cut out her noon bottle today and after 1 hour of screaming and crying I caved and gave her 4 ounces in order to get her to sleep.
Any advice would be great!

maybe you could get her a "CHEESE BUN" and see how she likes it!! Good times Good times!
My only advice is to make sure she has plenty of juice and milk and soda is only a sip or a treat. My friends' older kids all have broken bones because they gave up milk on a daily basis. I drank milk for lunch in school every single day because we really didn't have choices back then. That was actually a good thing!
I don't want Syd to ever have the weight problem I had, so I give her every food and she usually doesn't turn her nose at it. They say if you try something 10 times, the kid will eventually learn to eat it. I'm thankful that mine eats and I don't have to be patient in that department too! LOL. It's all fun!
