The teachers at daycare have been telling me for about 6 weeks that Hannah has been holding her own bottle but she never did it for me. I thought surely those women were crazy until a few nights ago when I sat a bottle down in front of her and she grabbed it right up and put in in her mouth! She doesn't always get the contents in her mouth or even hold it right side up, but I still say she's a genius! (And no, she isn't always covered in food stains)
