That's right. I told you it wouldn't be long. And now it's time. I'm done with nursing. D-O-N-E. Done. Even though I'd bitten my mommy at least a dozen times, she still kept trying. But I decided enough is enough. On Sunday morning, I nursed at 6:30 like normal. At 11:30, I nursed on one side and refused any more. That was the last time I nursed. 11:30 am, Sunday, November 4th.
My mommy was hoping to go a full year nursing like she did with my brother. Then slowly wean me, like she did with my brother: dropping a feeding a week until he was weaned one month later (at 13 months). I don't know when she's going to understand that I'm NOT my brother.
She took me to the doctor hoping maybe I had an ear infection. But I'm totally healthy. At least I was at the beginning of The Week of Sickness. The doctor said I was a mystery to her. I kind of like that.
The doctor also suggested that mommy go right to sippy cups for my breast milk/formula, but I like bottles. She's been trying all week to get me to drink from a sippy cup but I just like to chew on them. So it looks like my parents get to buy bottles and formula for a month and a half. They almost made it through two kids without needing that expensive stuff. Ha ha!

Check Out My Hair!
I'm getting my first haircut next week after my helmet comes off on Thursday and I wanted to show you another picture of my long hair. Isn't it cute? I've needed a haircut for about a month now but my parents figured why do it when it's covered by the helmet 23 hours a day.
See my teeth? I have 6 now and have bitten my mommy while nursing at least 8 times. My brother only bit her once, but I don't want to be just like him. I'm not sure I'm going to make it an entire year nursing but hey I've gone 10 months already. That's pretty close.
