In Rare Form

I would like to say that Nora and I have two of the happiest babies. Why wouldn't they be? They have the two coolest moms on the planet, already have the cutest spouse lined up for them, and are always fed and changed.

Thats why this is rare form. Never do we see them cry, especially not at the same time. Charlie was so scared to fall, and Emmy was just so sad for him. I love how she just couldn't take it anymore in the last one.

Our Sweet Pete is getting married. He proposed to Kati on Thursday in Carmel.. so romantic! He was so excited she said yes. We can't wait to meet her in person. ichat just doesn't do it for us.

Congratulations guys. We love you both.

The Day I Never Wanted to See

My daughter no longer needs me.

Thats right people, you heard it here first. Little miss priss is no longer a nursing child. I'm heartbroken. It would be one thing to if I had weened her myself, but it was like she did it all on her own. There was no getting this chick to stay still for more then 20 seconds without sitting up laughing then diving in for more. She eventually was eating like a dog, on all fours. What? Who does that?

So a few days ago I decided to nurse her cradle, like we did when she was a baby. The first thing she did was bite. Ouch! So we reverted back to feeding in bed. She still went crazy, but ate for a couple of days.

This morning, everything changed. My daughter has teeth.. and she wasn't afraid to use them. Do I endure and nurse her for three more months while she is biting every other second just so I can get to the goal of a year like I had hoped? Or do I save myself and let her go. I played tough when Baker was here before he left, and when he left I lost it. Am I going to be able to bond with her anymore? Is she going to know that I am her mom anymore? Ughg it's so sad.

My little girl no longer needs me.
