Yep. I'm done.

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!
