MY BIG BOY!


It looks like the no nursing post happened faster than I thought!  Yesterday my mom put Luke down for his nap.  He cried off and on for about 30 minutes, but finally fell asleep.  I couldn't let my mom's hard work go to waste, so I decided to put Luke to sleep without nursing.  I gave him a cup of milk while reading his books and then we laid down and sang some songs.  He only whined for a few minutes and eventually fell asleep.  He slept all night and didn't wake up until after 7, which is late for him!

 I'm a little sad because this is my last baby, but I'm proud of myself for sticking to it for 20 months.  I never thought I'd BF for that long, but I think it was good for both of us.  Time to move on and be a big boy now!
 This morning Lily was putting her baby down and she said, "Look.  My baby doesn't need milk anymore.  She goes to sleep all by herself!"  Looks like there's no more babies in our house!
 Sweet picture of Lily.

Awwww those are such sweet pictures. Luke looks more and more like Chris everyday. Seems like you didn't have to tough a time weaning him. He is turning into such a "big boy". :-)
Love, Mimi

Wow, I can't believe the weaning thing was so easy. Funny how the things we dread the most turn out to be okay.

Precious pictures!!!!!! What memories those pictures of Luke bring to mind. He is so much like Chris til it's scary. But those days for me were so rewarding, when he was this size he was why I woke up each morning, Lily is growning up so fast, STOP HER and enjoy every minute of her, because they don't last forever. Love you all,Gmth
