Milestones

Well, Jack is officially weaned. That doesn't mean he doesn't still want to nurse (he tries to get in there and smacks me where it counts when he's thirsty/hungry), but this week was the end of it. It's been more than a day now and we're not going back. I have to admit a little bit of sadness. I enjoy nursing. It's nice to have to slow down, sit down, hold baby and snuggle. I will miss that. But it's time.

He also learned to tell me he wants his diaper off by grabbing at it. Not that anyone wants to know about that, but I love to see him learning to communicate more clearly. He doesn't just cry at everything, but is really making efforts at more efficient communication. It's so cute. He also has a few new words. His first word was "nuh, nuh" which means "no". His next word was "uh-uh" which he's refined to "uh-oh" now. Today he added another one, "bah" for ball & balloon. He says "ma, ma, ma, ma" and "da, da, da" but I don't think he uses them as words yet, just fun sounds to say.
