It's bitterSWEET

Well my baby boy is finally completely done breastfeeding and I am so proud that we made it this far! He was to the point where he would only nurse in the middle of the night for comfort but it was really interrupting his sleep habits so I saw it best to put an end to it.  Basically when he woke up in the night and wanted to nurse, I would give him a sippy cup of water instead. He would take a drink and then usually go right back to sleep! Occasionally I would say to him "breastfeeding all done/gone" and he understood.  Within a few days of putting and end to breastfeeding, he began to sleep through the night in his crib without waking up! It's amazing! He is on a 2 night streak so we will see if it lasts but I really hope so! He is getting so big so fast.

Hudson is going through this "baby talk" stage and it really gets annoying fast! I really dont have the patience for it because I know that he can talk properly if he tries but I guess he is just wanting attention. He loves the weather lately and wearing shorts is his favorite part! I cant believe in just a few short months he is going to go to preschool. Amazing.

This past weekend me, Andy and the boys drove two and a half hours to purchase a 2007 Nissan Quest which I absolutely love and have been researching for the past 3 or 4 months. My personality is such that I cant stop searching until I know I got one of the best deals available. It is so annoying but to say the least I am NOT an impulse buyer at all. We drove all that way, filled out some paperwork and the are going to deliver it to us tomorrow. I am sooooo excited! Just to have more room to put stuff and be able to take more people with me when I go places. I know that the gas is going to really stink but I really see a future with this van.  I picture lots of road trips and vacations with our family. I think the most important thing you can do for your kids is create memories.  I was ready for a vacation, like...yesterday!

I will update with pictures soon :0)

YAY for Brody sleeping through the night! I know the weaning is bittersweet but you nursed him for so long and that is so, so wonderful!

Ugh... Brooke is doing the whole baby talk thing, too, and it seriously KILLS me. She's also into signing like Adrienne does and somehow, that annoys me too. Lol. It was super cute when she did it before she could talk but now, NOT SO MUCH! Haha

Nice to see you tonight:-)
