14 years

there are 14 years between my first baby and my last baby. they are awesome.

The Great Outdoors

He probably learned to love being outside from me, or else he inherited it :) We love to be outside. Here he is waiting for the school bus to bring his sisters home.

My Son and Me

Here's a picture of me nursing my 1-year old to sleep. I recently met a woman at a La Leche League meeting who said both her children weaned when they turned one. I can't imagine that personally as all my children have been avid nurslings into their third years, that is, until and beyond age two. My experience is the older they are the more they love to be breastfed.

Sleep

Here we are, this is one of the nicest times of the day, evening, kids in bed, baby nursed and asleep on my chest, he nurses throughout the night whenever he wants, from the time I go to bed he wakes up to nurse twice, during the time he is asleep but I have not gone to bed yet he nurses a few times as well. I don't care, I want him to nurse as much as possible. He is my baby yet even though he's one now!

Daddy Time

My husband is not one of those guys who is super good at calming a crying baby, I'm not sure if there are guys like that. But, my husband LOVES holding a sleeping baby. So, here is a picture of him holding our sleeping little son.

Super Baby!

There he is, super baby! And he really is a super baby. This little guy lived four months and eleven days with a hole in his heart that was probably about half an inch in size, and two other holes, and he weighed 11 pounds so he was so small. For the rest of his life I will always always think he is super.
