bittersweet

[mamajoan]

I am sad because I'm realizing that Isaac is eating more solid food now -- he eats it at least twice a day and gets fussy if he doesn't get that much -- and it means he's nursing less. I still go over to daycare at lunchtime, but lately he's either asleep or not hungry, so I end up not actually nursing him.

I know weaning is actually a long way off, but this does feel like the first step. And it's made me realize how not ready to give up breastfeeding I am. It makes me sad that he doesn't rely entirely on me for his nutritional needs any more. I am trying to work through this feeling and get to the more productive "yay, my baby is growing up and developing." It's slow going though.

In other news I have a huge zit on the tip of my nose and it is driving me nuts. :P

For me, it was the shoes. Everytime I pack up another pair of his shoes in favour of a larger size - I get all weepy.

Isaac's really cute by the way...Ben was almost an Isaac Jacob.
Does he still smell like a baby? I love the baby smell...although the small little boy smell is nice too....
