Weaning Update

Well, we did it. Henry must have known because he was very cooperative. We had a long cuddly nurse on Sunday morning. He hasn't asked since, although he will point at my chest if I say "nummies." Not like he wants to nurse, just, "Hey, I know that word!"

I haven't picked out a frame yet, but we did take some pictures. First, I dug up the one I took just before he started solids.

I think he weighs about the same that he does now, just all poured into a shorter body. And how big was that diaper on him? Anyway, here's the one we did on Sunday.
Husband thought we should put clothes on him. But then you can't see his squishy thighs! And he looks so darn cute in just a diaper. I find myself letting him go pantsless around the house more and more these days because he will be too old before I know it. Or he will figure out how to finally get that diaper off and then I am really screwed.

One more picture...
Henry is playing with his weaning present, a set of Haba blocks. We bought the starter set but they cost 45 damn dollars so we will not be expanding anytime soon. Still, he loves them and they are the kind of toy we can keep forever and pass down so they fit my criteria. Bonus: I think they are pretty fun to play with, too.

ETA: In my haste to get this posted and get to bed I forgot to mention that I am very grateful for the wonderful nursing relationship Henry and I shared for 19 months. I know a lot of moms who would have loved for it to be so easy but it isn't that way for everyone. Better to have nursed and weaned than never to have nursed at all!
