That Nin - she's just a nut. Wants to be where she wants to be, when she wants to be there. In this photo we'd given the girls their various lovies. E had BehBear, Nin had her Taggies®, Annie has the infamous White Blankie (man, that was a great purchase!) and they were moving everywhere!Milestones:
Annie has officially weaned. I'm extremely sad about it. In my mind, she was the baby who was supposed to nurse longer than either of her sisters (13 months and 14 months). E and Nin each weaned a few weeks after they started walking. Annie isn't even one yet, and isn't walking either! I was hoping we'd get to 18 months, but she's just not having it. I've tried nursing her in the quiet of her bedroom at night, in the morning in my bedroom, in the computer chair (where we nursed most of the time). She's bitten me, pinched me, pushed me away and the other morning looked at my breast then looked up at me like, "What do you expect me to do?" For the first time since April 2002, I'm not pregnant, breastfeeding or both. When the other two weaned, I had a baby in utero and could look forward to that nursing relationship - but this time I don't, and may not ever have another - and that's making it more difficult for me. My OB said, "It sounds to me like subconsciously you're not finished having babies yet!" Glad he has a firm grasp of the obvious.
Four days until Banannie girl's birthday. I can't believe it!!!
Yesterday, Elizabeth sang in the worship service at church with the other preschoolers and the Pilgrim choir (K-2nd grade). So big. She did really well - actually SANG rather than standing there with her hands in her mouth. We have video, of course.
