Weaning

I "think" we may have weaned finally after over 20 months of nursing. She has not nursed for 5 days, and unless she asks for it, I am not going to offer it. I miss it a little, the closeness and time that it gave us together. However I am ready to have my body back, and I know Erick is too. I am glad we made it this long, and all the positive aspects it provided for her. I will definitely try to breastfeed again if I have any more children. Maybe now my boobs will shrink a little. :)

Night Night

In the last few days Piper has started doing something new when it's time to go to bed. She will bring me her boppy pillow when she's ready to go to sleep, or if I ask her if she's is tired or ready to go night-night. I'm still nursing her to sleep, so that's why she brings it to me, but I guess I'm amazed that she has starting telling me in her own way that she's ready for bed and it's not so much of a fight now.

Bye Bye Bottle

We officially got rid of Piper's final bottle last week. She was still taking one at bedtime a lot of nights even though we are still nursing. So now she gets a sippy cup if she needs it at night. She has also been doing a lot better about sleeping all night. I can't even remember the last time she woke up at night. The one time she did cry recently, I just brought her to bed with me without nursing her, and she fell back asleep right away. I'm hoping this new trend continues, since I'm getting much more sleep lately.
