I let her stay on the floor for awhile to see if she was faking. But she cried pretty hard for a few minutes. I guess her tears were for real.
As long as we're in close proximity however, ESK is a very happy baby. She squeals with glee when we come chasing after her.
Unwelcome Change
We've also started the weaning process with ESK. She has taken to it quite well actually and doesn't seem to miss the bonding time. I thought I would be so happy to stop breastfeeding, but I actually miss it. It's sad to think she doesn't miss those special cozy moments.
So besides losing special bonding moments with my baby, I think I've actually gained some weight back! AAAGH! This totally sucks. I remember my sister telling me that she gained some weight when she weaned GMK and it's happened to me as well. No more second servings of dinner. No more muffins at the coffee shop. Sigh...

she's so cute, even when she's lost her cool and from behind! weight gain does stink. you'll get a handle on it, i'm sure.
ughhh, cutie pie... i thought at first that she had fallen asleep on the floor like that. yeah, although N isn't that friendly (he'll stare you down until he thinks he knows you better and until you jump through the hoops to make him laugh,) but i didn't realize that he had stranger anxiety until last month when we left him alone with my parents. i guess he feels okay as long as we're nearby. does ESK come and tag you, while playing with other people? N does that, as if to say i gotta go check in at my home base here. :)
what nappy hair? i don't see it, but she's got a LOT of hair! so dark and luscious~ :) yeah, N has light and wispy hair, after going through a bald phase where he lost all his hair from birth. i think we'll have to cut it this weekend though. sad... as gross as it sounds, i think i might save that mullet. crazy, isn't it? but i AM glad to know that i'm not the only one attached to their kid's hair. hehe. :)
as for breastfeeding, i'm sooooo amazed that you were able to continue for this long. i admire all you mamas who could, and i've heard every single one say that they miss it. i'm sure it's the beginning of many things we'll learn to let go, as they learn to spread their wings, so to speak... *sigh*
J didn't want to let it go until I went away for a week. I came back and shoved by boob in her face and she just didn't want it. I kept trying because I missed it but in retrospect I'm glad she was ready to let it go. E had seperation anxiety later than other babies but it was just a phase. Now, she's very out going. ESK will get better.
As for the weight gain, I have no advice but I have the same frustration. If only I can stop getting pregnant, I can tackle this issue head on. ;) Let me know what works for you.
Oh, J was 15 months when I stopped breast feeding. forgot to add that.
Didn't want you to think I was forcing a helpless infant with my body part... lol She was a toddler.
ha ha ha... A you are funny!
