It's very bittersweet, this one-year-old business.
This week, we gave up nursing, bottles, and formula. Now, Aidan drinks organic whole milk from a cup. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a tiny bit sad about not nursing him anymore - though we were down to only one time a day, it was our special time together first thing each morning. However, I know it is what's best for him and it is a freeing feeling knowing that if I'm rushing around in the morning, Aaron can feed him.
I am so proud of this big boy. He has handled these transitions with a minimal amount of protest. He goes with the flow and is such a blessing. We are so lucky to have a healthy and happy baby boy - one who waves at anything and everything, thinks his daddy is the funniest human being on the planet, and who loves his mama so much that her name is the word he utters more than any other.
I'm not sure why we got so lucky, but for this Nugget I'll take the bittersweet parts any day.
