Although we have never met in person, we are ever-grateful for you and your bottles. Your glass bottles made it through a year of feeding, bumping, washing and yes, dropping. We love your bottles.
Last night, we officially said goodbye to you. It seemed that Momma had a harder time with this transition than the growing babe did. Thank you for a year of soothing and nourshing. You were the only one that stopped gas problems and made bottle feeding pleasant for our little babe.
It is bittersweet to clean your bottles for the last time. Yes, they have many parts, but we have grown quite attached at the sink together (yes, I hand wash). Washing has become quite relaxing--a mundane act that allows the mind to drift.
With the departure of your bottles, comes the finale of babyhood. Oh, I don't know how the time passed so quick. It is exciting to travel ahead to all the wonderful toddler stages but sad to leave sweet babyhood behind. Time is a funny thing when children are concerned. I will miss holding my little babe in my arms while she relaxes and enjoys drinking.
Thank you again, Dr. Brown. The babe is not a great sippy cup drinker (often spewing milk out all over) but we are going to give your sippies a try. Right now, our best bet is an open-faced cup with lots of parent supervision.
With sincerest thanks for your most-fabulous bottles,
The babe and her grateful parents

isn't it amazing how we become attached to certain times or moments of the day? i loved holding tay at the end of the day while she relaxed with a bottle. it was our time when we had nothing else to do besides gaze at each other and enjoy that snuggle.
