That's right folks, I have come to the time in my life where I no longer have a baby. Chandler has officially weaned from nursing. :( He nursed the longest and seemed the most attached to it (just like a man!). But at the grand age of 13 months, he's done. It was easy too...we just stopped gradually during the day, and night times were harder for me, b/c I like my sleep. It was easier to just roll over and "pop it in". But, this past weekend he didn't nurse at all. I am actually pretty sad about it. That was a special bonding time that we shared, and he is my last baby, and now it's over. It it weird to think that I will never be at that point in my life again. That I am no longer HAVING children, but that I am now raising little people. My job from here on out is to make sure that they grow into caring, sensitive, smart, well-rounded adults. ACK! Wish me luck. Justin and I have said, we learn from the past, so let's hope that we don't make the same mistakes our parents made. That we learn from our pasts and that these 3 beautiful children have happy and healthy lives.
Pretty deep huh? :) Goodbye to the baby years...bring on the rest of our lives!

I'm right there with ya at 11 months! It's hard... harder than I thought. And sad. I'm hanging on to the first A.M. feeding - the only one she'll actually go for anymore. She's probably be done if I just let her. Why the frick do they have to grow so fast? Seems like yesterday Laney and Falyn were babies and we had so much more babyhood to look forward to. Oh well - the rest will be just as fun (and challenging). Love ya XOXOXO
((((Big Hugs)))) Gina. I'm not looking forward to when that day comes for me. My youngest will be 2 next week and we plan on having one more so I still have a little while, but it makes me sad to think about it. *sigh*
HUGS sweetie! I cannot believe he is so big already!!
