Breastfeeding

Well, my little man is a big boy now. Yesterday was his last day breastfeeding. These time around it's been a totally different process. He started on whole milk around September 12th and started the self weaning process. With Madeline it was more controlled because I was pumping the whole time. It's been even more emotional for me with Benjamin since he was actually nursing. It was a special experience that while I enjoy the freedom I will miss greatly...I'm not ready for him to grow up so fast. It seems like just yesterday I was holding him for the first time; and now, he is crawling all over, babbling up a storm, and working toward walking. Time flies! I am enjoying that though he is not nursing, he is still my little snuggle bunny when he gets sleepy. I will cherish this because one day all too soon that won't be "cool" anymore.
