There is no excuse that justifies my absence, so rather than explain and try to convince you that my reasons were reasonable, I have decided to melt your heart instead with Natey’s picture. Here he is at Aunt Norie’s house, holding my brothers childhood teddy bear he has fallen in love with. Too adorable.
Natey is now 13 months, running and playing like theres no tomorrow. He started walking last wednesday (8 days ago). Well, I guess that’s not completely accurate. He started walking when he was 11 months old, before we left on our trip but took a pretty bad fall where his teeth ripped into his lip. Very quickly he decided that walking was to be put on hold and was only to be done while holding an adults hand. And that he did until he felt ready to let go. Natey walked first thing in the morning and by noon he was running. I guess the extra months of practice did him very well.
His Wild Wild One was a huge success. Natey was surrounded by all his loved ones and celebrated like a true cowboy. He dug into the cake and loved every piece of it! He even got to taste some ice cream. I don’t think he liked it at all 😉
We started weaning him off about a month ago. Up until today, he had gone two weeks without asking for breast milk. Silly me I thought it was all dried up ( it should’ve been). Today Natey was having a melt down and asked me to nurse him. Thinking nothing would come out, I thought it would be good for him to realize that my breasts were now empty. To my surprise milk began to flow! So we start back at day one tomorrow 🙂
Natey continues to be the happy little baby he has always been, and I am happy to report that I am now being paid with hourly hugs, wet kisses and monster noises 🙂
Good night 🙂
