Quillon is 9 months old and going crazy!

[QuillonsMom]

Holy cow, I can't believe my baby is growing up! He turned 9 months yesterday/today. He decided this week that he was done being a baby. He has:

1, Started talking! He says lots of things-mama,dada,dog,lola,cone,hi,hey,whoa,baba. He started most all of them this week!

2. Using his pincer grasp.

3. Standing alone! Will be walking really soon...

4. Waving Hi/Bye. It is the cutest thing watching his face all lit up because he is communicating :-D

5. Is eating table foods 3 meals a day.

I thought they did these things gradually...lol. I am so proud of him! It is unbelievable to watch my son playing games with me and being a boy, not a baby. It makes me want another one...I am totally crazy! HEH. I can see why some people do it again so soon...I wish we could afford it and life wasn't so hectic. Oh well, I don;t really know that my sanity could handle another one and my IUD and total lack of sex drive kinda kills trying.

In other news, my breastmilk isn't drying up and I quit the herbs (ran out and out of money, actually.) I am producing enough to fulfill all of his needs, but still giving some formula and freezing BM, JIC. I am happy about my supply. He actually NURSED from me, not pumped a bottle-twice yesterday :) He never deoes it anymore, he thinks he is too big or busy. Heartbreaking...but I can't change it, so I appreciate the few moments when  he will snuggle up for ahwile and nurse. They are few and far between, and our days for bfing are numbered. My milk could try to dry up again anytime, and I don't know how much longer I can fight it.  Doing ok now, just gonna roll with it.

I guess I am too tired to write anymore.
