Well, my baby is moving more and more into little boyhood. This week, we have accomplished a feat that I wasn't sure would ever happen. I have completely weaned Micah off of Mommy's milk!! When I began nursing, I didn't think I would make it through the first week, let alone 17 1/2 months. Breastfeeding was very difficult at first, but a wonderful bonding experience. I was the only one who could fulfill that need, and I loved that! And boy did he ever love it too, once he finally got the hang of it. It had even gotten to the point of him asking for "mil, mil" and climbing into my lap and getting into position, which was so funny! But as he has gotten more and more active, he just didn't have the time to lay down and be still long enough to enjoy Mommy's sweet nectar. So bye-bye Mommy's milk! Weaning was alot easier than I thought it would be. He has only asked for it a couple of times in the last few days, but a quick suggestion of milk in a cup and he is satisfied. Now at least he can run around while drinking his "mil." My baby is a baby no more.
