Blogging... Now What

Hello World. Are you still out there??

I feel like its been a really long time since I've sat down just to blog. Milo and Nathan are playing in the living room... I always love the sounds that come from Daddy-Milo time.

Here I sit. I almost have way too much I want to blog about.

My lactation courses are going VERY well. I am learning SOOOO much. The last course was about breastfeeding from a biological perspective. Oh how I wish I could go back and start all over again. I think breasetfeeding would have gone much differently had I known what I know now... and I don't even know everything yet!! Like so many other things these days, if we let things be, as God and nature intended... we'd have much fewer problems. Same with nursing. Babies are born with this AMAZING ability and instinct. Mothers have this too. That's not to say mothers don't and won't need guidance... but they need to be guided in a way that allows them to let nature work. This is definitely a perspective I will use in my journey towards helping women and babies breastfeed. And the deeper I get in my learning, the happier I am to be nursing today. And we will not be defined by an amount of time. Breastfeeding has benefits beyond twelve months. As long as Milo and I are both satisfied with nursing, we will continue to do so.

What else... Milo is becoming such a tough little boy. I underestimated him. He has a HARD head... and only rarely hits it hard enough to cry. I guess I haven't mentioned this, but I had a mini melt down the other day about Milo getting hurt. It still makes me nervous, but he's getting much steadier on his feet. He's crawling FAST, pulling up on EVERYTHING, opening drawers, standing on his own, and is done with baby food. I think one of his favorite meals is tofu, green peas, and apple sauce with cinnamon. He is also enjoying shredded cheese. He's also waving and giving high fives. While I do miss that tiny little baby I brought home from the hospital... I'm immensely proud of this "big" "little" boy he is becoming.

Right now... we are supposed to be getting a blizzard. They have hyped it up so much, I have a feeling its going to be disappointing. But the anticipation is fun anyway. And they did double time at work today to prepare, so Nathan will get a snow day tomorrow. =)

I feel kind of pathetic. I was all excited about blogging, and I'm afraid this post was a bit of a bore. Oh well.

I hope you all stay warm and cozy.
