My baby isn't a baby anymore.

-
The realization that I no longer have a little baby anymore is becoming more evident everyday. LJ is growing up into his own little person and although is sad to leave infancy behind, I am so excited to see him become a sweet, spunky and crazy little boy!
As of yesterday LJ has been weaned from breast feeding for a full week. It was bittersweet. Part of me wanted so badly to be done with nursing. I was over it, LJ had 6 teeth, was walking and I was ready to have my boobs back all to myself! However, there was a part of me that was sad to stop nursing my boy, because it meant he was getting older and not a baby anymore. So, after one long night of putting him to sleep with no "babas", and again not giving him any when he woke in the middle of the night, LJ was weaned. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I think the timing was perfect because we were just coming off being sick, and he hadn't been nursing as much anyways. I'm thankful that weaning was easier than I thought and I am relieved to not be breast feeding anymore!
Thank you baby boy for making mommy SO happy, thank you for challenging me, for making me grow up, and for showing me the beauty of the simply joys in life. Yay for being a toddler!





 Me and my baby!

Most handsome boy ever!

LJ recently just got his first haircut. I waited as long as I could to cut his little golden locks, but it was definitely time for a big boy cut! We took him to Kool Kids cuts in Rancho, which was SO fun for him and he did so good. He looks so cute now with his haircut and looks even more like Bryce! Here's some pictures of his haircut!

 He was SO excited to sit in the car:)

 He sat super still, SO cute



 STUD!
XOXO, Kay

Growing up I wasn't the healthiest eater. I played sports so many nights we ate out or had cheap processed meals. Being athletic I never really realized what affect eating poorly did to my body. Plus, I always had the mindset that was "well whatever I'm eating isn't that bad", or "I'm gonna die one day anyways and it isn't because I had too much sweet n low"! But recently I've been thinking way more about my body and what I'm putting into it. I guess kind of started when I became a mom. I didn't just have to worry about myself, but now LJ and his health and his well-being. I wanted to be better in every aspect that I could be, that included my poor eating habits. I had decided that I would make homemade baby food for him, so I bought all of this organic produce and was so excited to make him fresh food! However, then I started thinking, why haven't I bought organic and fresh stuff for me and Bryce from the very beginning.When

Today my baby boy is 7 months old! Holy cow time flies. I feel as if every day he is learning/doing something new! I am so blessed to be able to stay home with him on a full-time basis and not miss how fast he's growing up. I decided that I would do a monthly post for my boy, to keep a record of how he's growing and all the new things he's doing. I wish I would have started this sooner, but I guess its better late than never! So, here's all the things that LJ is doing at 7 months: - He sits up all by himself - He scoots! Everyday its seems that he's going faster and farther! - He's starting to pul himself up onto things...like the rocking chair. HAHA. - He likes patty-cake, swinging, and playing with Pip - He likes to go for walks, and LOVES being outside - He loves his baths now, he just gets mad when we take him out! - He can say ba-ba, and i swear i've heard him say ma-ma :) - His favorite foods (besides milk) are pears, apples, and butternut sq
