I started saving Mackenzie's formula cans from day one, thinking I could use them for some fun craft project and then my husband came up with the great idea of saving them all and taking her pic with them once she transitioned to milk. Gotta love him! She looked like she was posing for a Wheaties box or something, so I came up with the title from there. Paper is new Chatterbox Cottage Room and Rec Room, molding strips are also Chatterbox. Title font is new Chatterbox Heber. Thanks! Heather<br><br>“Mackenzie has been a hungry baby from day one, but seeing all of the formula cans that she drank during her first year of life stacked up behind her really put things into perspective. The memories of the time spent preparing her bottles, feeding them to her, and the cries we endured while the bottle was warming to that just right, very warm temperature she preferred, came pouring back. I had planned to nurse her exclusively for as long as I could, but she lost a significant amount of weight right after she was born and the nurses supplemented with formula at night during our stay in the hospital. I nursed her for a month, but wasn’t able to give her the calories that she needed, so we went exclusively to formula. I was pretty upset at first, but when I saw how happy she was to be able to drink at her own, very quick, pace and fill herself up all the way, I felt much better. She was so much happier on formula and she grew into a very tall, healthy girl during her first year. She drank Similac Advance Formula with Iron, which is what the nurses in the hospital gave her the day she was born. At just about a year, we started introducing whole milk, and within a few weeks, her formula drinking days were over.”
