10 Months (and a few days)

Val, I know I posted just the other day. I also know that I'm not keeping up with this blog as often as I could be but... I'm spending the time I'd spend blogging watching you grow up. And that, it is so goddamn much fun I can't quite describe it.

We did a really momentous thing last night -- I went to the store, purchased some soy milk and poured it into a cup for you. I didn't have to lift up my shirt, pump anything or warm up a bottle. I just poured it. Into a cup.

For 10 months now, your primary source of nutrition has come from me. It's been a lot more work than I'd ever really considered and I'm proud as hell of my efforts.

But I am so damn tired of the whole thing. I'm sure that later, much later, I'll look back on our breastfeeding relationship and miss parts of it. But right now, I just want you to get your nutrition from somewhere else. Like the store. Though not from formula. I have not come this far only to give you formula for 2 months. That's stupid. And expensive.

You're going on your first DisneyWorld trip this fall. We bought our tickets this week and I have to say I can't wait to go there with you. The last time we went, we found out you were on your way into this world, returning there with you in tow is going to be awesome.

For now, we're just waiting for the easter bunny.
