ok, so maybe it was a few days ago, but still, 5 days late isn't too bad, right? i can't believe that you are almost a year old. that is the craziest thing! you make me so proud everyday, and make me laugh and smile. both you and your sister.
what have you been up to? well, i think you have decided that you will never walk. you crawl faster then i ever knew a baby could crawl, and you will cruise along furniture, and you will stand on your own, but you just don't see the need to walk. especially since your sister will bring you whatever you want.
you are babbling a lot, but no real clear words. you do say the mama and dada sometimes, and you say bye, and wave and blow kisses, but most of your sounds are just awesome baby sounds. awesome happy fat baby sounds. your voice might just be the cutest thing i have heard in a long time.
our biggest thing is that you are fully weaned. i started a few weeks ago by cutting out the bottles at school; you were just getting a sippy cup. then i stopped nursing you at lunch. then i cut the morning. then one day last week, i just tried to put you down without nursing you and you did alright. then next night, and pretty much every night since then, you have protested, but i think that is due to just not wanting to go to bed, and not to the nursing. (at least that is what i am telling myself). i didn't set a date, i just knew that within a week or two i would stop, and that night it just happened. i knew if i set a date, i would be so sad the night before knowing that it was our last session. so i decided to wing it. i think you are ok with it. i miss the closeness, and i think you might too, but i also know that you were getting only that closeness from it at this point. and honestly, as much as i love you and your sister, i needed to CUT THE CORD...
you are drinking whole milk now as well. you were a little leery at first but now chug it like a pro. much better then babyhead did, so that makes me happy. your poop sure did change, but i think you are ok. no reaction.
we are leaving for our anniversary trip/rob's dads birthday trip in a few weeks and you will be with your sister at rob's aunts house. without me. for 4 WHOLE DAYS. wonder who will cry first....
ok, well, here is to 1 more month of babyhood. i love you fatty mcnatty!
