We're done....

It's official...we're done nursing. I'm sad....but she's doing fine. We had a busy weekend...and we were already down to just night nursing...so we put her down without it...and she did fine. So....to celebrate...I'm wearing a regular bra!! LOL...that's probably a little TMI for some of you!! Sorry about that. I made it 13 months...and I wouldn't trade that for anything!! It was by far the hardest thing I've ever done. It wasn't easy....but once we got the hang of it...we were old pros. My little girl is growing up too fast!!

We're also working on all 4 canines this week...so we're pretty miserable....all 3 of us are! The whining has intensified this week...but hopefully they will all push through and we can get a break for a while...hopefully!!

Thought I'd add a cute picture of her..enjoy!!!

Picture Thursday

Just cuz I know ya wanna see the cutie pie!!

Here ya go :)

Our first night out is tomorrow!!

It's finally happening this weekend! Whoohoo!! It's been a long time coming. I know...I know...everyone says you need to get out as a couple...without your children. Well....it's hard. We...ok...let's be honest...I....haven't "wanted" to be away from her. I'm afraid I might miss something she does for the first time. I know how M feels now....after he comes home and I run to the door exclaiming.."She did _____ for the first time!" It's exciting...but you don't want to miss out. Now that we're slowly weaning..I feel like I can make time for "couple time." We've got lots of people wanting to babysit...so I guess I better start taking advantage...right? :)

In Eleanor news...she's a total ham...and she knows it! She rules the roost...and she knows that too. She's all over the place...and our house looks like a tornado came through. How in the world does one child make such a mess in a matter of minutes?? Anywhoo...thought you'd enjoy a picture I got of her yesterday playing in her princess tent.

Still got a cough

But no fevers now. She had a fever over the weekend...of course...because it was Easter...but we're feeling much better. It's been 2 weeks since this cold started. She still has a congested cough...and part of me is starting to wonder if she doesn't have some seasonal allergies. I need to read up on that...I'm sure signs/symptoms are similar to those of a cold...so might have to talk with our dr. next appt about it.

We had a wonderful Easter!! She devoured her chocolate bunny last night. She still has another one from Grammie C that we...I mean...she...needs to eat :) Hahaha :) No...Mommy & Daddy are trying really hard to be good...and lose some baby weight...so no chocolate bunnies for us :)

I'm also playing around with the idea of eventually....someday...starting my own photography business. I think it's still a ways off...I need to learn a lot of things...but right now I'm just using this time to play around and experiment. I shot this one tonight on a "borrowed" camera....with hopes....fingers crossed...that it will soon become "my" camera. Needless to say...I like it :)

Look what great pictures it takes :)

We're on the mend!!

Whoohoo...she's finally feeling better!! Yipppeee!! I was a mess yesterday...questioning my ability as a mom. She couldn't breathe through her nose...so she wasn't nursing at all. We went a full 36 hours of not nursing...so I was beginning to think this was the end...and she was weaning herself. I have to admit...I was a little sad and upset about it. But low and behold...this morning she was breathing much better and nursed like crazy this morning. Yay!! Mommy isn't ready for that yet...it needs to be a much slower process. But...we're definitely heading in that direction. My hope is to have her completely weaned by the beginning of summer. We'll see how that goes :)

We're gonna head to the park today...we are in desperate need of some sunshine!!
