Milk Update

As it turns out, Gusi is now really enjoying his soy milk and I am no longer getting light headed when I change his diaper.

He drinks about 8 to 12 oz. a day which is just what his pediatrician said he would do. And he loves it! He would drink more if I let him. He squeezes his little fist open and shut when he wants milk, it's really very cute. He'll drink water with his meals but milk is a drink best served chilled and at snack time.

On another note, he's also given up my milk. It wasn't all that traumatic, he just stopped getting excited about nursing when I offered it so the day after he turned 13 months I stopped offering. He hasn't even noticed. We still cuddle a lot and he's now started giving me kisses--ok, more like open mouthed, wet slobbers, but still they are kisses to him. We've entered a new phase of our relationship. I will miss the nursing more than I thought I would but I'm so happy I did it because it's given me a very healthy and active little boy. Special thanks goes to PapaGus and my mom for all their support in helping me achieve this goal.
