Today was pretty much the same as yesterday when it comes to how you feel about the cows milk. I have been trying to think of ways that you might like it more...warming it, sweetening it...I just don't know. Maybe I need to take away another feeding...I'm struggling with it. I wish I didn't have a deadline because that is what is tripping me out. I know that no matter what it will be fine, and you are getting plenty of nourishment from other foods...it just makes me nervous.
On another note we went to the Lagoon today with your friend "Bird." It was a WARM/HOT day...perfect for relaxing in the pool. We always have a good time at the Lagoon. You are such a sweet boy and I love to see you play with your friends, and splash in the water...you are just my favorite!

Day 3 WEENING process
Again today we tried cows milk before your first nap and you didn't drink much...maybe a little bit more than yesterday but still not much. In the evening I was feeling bad about you not getting enough to drink so when we went to Target today I gave you a SPECIAL treat...JUICE! You drank the ENTIRE sippy cup of juice in the time that we were at Target...you were in hog heaven. You are just like your mom and dad...loves juice!

Day 2 WEENING process
Today I realized that you LOVES to drink your juice so today I decided to try and only offer you milk as a drink so that when you were thirsty you were forced to drink the milk. Lets just say you did not drink that much today but you did drink about 1/3 cup of milk...so that is a start.

Day 1 WEENING process
Today I am starting to ween you and I have mixed emotions about it. It is just so crazy that I have been nursing you for over 11 months...I didn't think I would ever get to this point. Nursing has been a special experience. You have been dependent on my body for 20 months now and it is strange that soon you will no longer be THAT dependent on me. Of COURSE you still NEED me (thank goodness) but it is just different.
I have been reading up about weening, and different approaches...I decided on the approach of stopping one feeding at a time and introducing the cows milk for that feeding. So, you are already down to nursing only 3 times a day (before every sleep, so 2 naps and one bedtime). This morning before your first nap you had your first SIP of cows milk. You were not a big fan...but you gave it a few sips then you were over it so I layed you down for your nap. You were not too happy about that but eventually went to sleep. Before your second nap I nursed you and you nursed for so long! You were so happy and gave me a big smile when you were done...making this that much harder to give up.
We will see how this goes...I am trying to ween you a little early so that I can leave you at home with Daddy while I go to Denver for a Scentsy Convention.

Tuesday 1/19/10
Today Daddy and Uncle Brent went back to our Indio house to rap things up and make sure it was ready to be rented. We took a trip to Target and Ralphs. While at Target it started to rain so we almost didn't go to Ralphs. You were such a good boy, you slept at Target and even though you were awake at Ralphs you were so happy...we had a fun time singing and laughing. The storm really started to get going as we were leaving the store so we had someone help us out to our car which was so nice. After we got home we put a fire in the fireplace and watched the storm and TV. Then there was a tornado warning which made mommy a little nervous being all alone in our new house, but we said a prayer together and shortly there after the storm died down and the sun even popped out.
While we were watching TV today you were in your Exersaucer and you would play for a few seconds then look back at me and then go back to playing, and look back at me....it was a fun little game for about 10 minutes. It made me feel so special because I know you love me and were just making sure that I was still there.

Day 89
Saturday 10/31/09
It is your FIRST HALLOWEEN!!!! We ordered some pizza and walked over to the Bigler's. We quickly ate a few slices and then headed out to trick or treat. You were already zonked out before we even headed out and slept 50% of the time. You woke up when we stopped at our neighbors house to say hello. We had a nice evening trick or treating and afterwards we watch a movie at the Bigler's and you snugled with daddy. I told dad "you can put him down" once you fell asleep, because he always tells me that when you fall asleep in my arms...and what do you think he said? "No, I'm ok!" He snuggled with you through the entire movie. He loves you so much!
