Independent

Today, Troy wanted to hold his bottle all on his own.  I'm not sure why after 13 months that he suddenly decided that he no longer wanted us doing it for him, but he grabbed the bottle out of my wife's hands and held it up to his own mouth.  She just sat there awkwardly not knowing what to do with her hands while he sucked away.  When he was done, he pulled it out and handed it to her.

Declan has been doing this most of his life, out of necessity more than desire I'd assume.  CC gave him no choice, when he propped up the bottle in front of him and walked away.  It was either learn to pick it up and feed yourself or go hungry.  We never put Troy in that dilemma, but it's funny that he came to it all on his own anyway.  I guess he's just becoming more independent.
