I am sorry to say my days of nursing my son are soon to be dwindling. Two days ago DJ bit me for the first time while nursing. It was quite a shock. I let it go thinking he was a reasonable 8 mo old and that it wouldn't happen again since I unlatched him and said "Ow, that hurts mommy." Later on that day on that same side he bit me again and I flicked his nose thinking that would solve it. But no, it happened again later on that day on that very same side and drew a little blood. At that moment after I finished blacking out I realized I would soon be ending the nursing.

I do have to say that he hasn't bitten me since, but I know it needs to happen. It makes me feel very sad. I enjoy having this closeness with him that he will never have with anyone else. It is and will always will be a once in a lifetime experience.

The Holidays

Well, the holidays have come and gone. It came so fast and ended too soon. My family from Cali came down for Xmas which was great. The saying is true about absence making the heart grow fonder and you don't know what you had until its gone or not there. Having my family here made me miss them even more!

This was DJs first Christmas. He enjoyed having family over, but was a little overwhelmed at first. Not sure how to take it. All in all he had a great time. There were plenty of hugs, kisses, and holding to go around! He enjoyed those things more than the presents he received. He would rather eat the wrapping paper! He definitely was spoiled.

As for New Year...it was a quiet evening of doing nothing and watching TV. New Years Day was absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful day for a hike with my little family. I hope everyone was as blessed as we were! Happy New Year to all!!!
