Breastfeeding can be so difficult at times, but it is usually the most wonderful feeling. Warm, calm, nourishing, satisfying, sweet, beautiful, gratifying, giggly, MAMA MILK!!! Every looks up at me, latched on and determined to get that milk out. He knows it's in there, he smells it. =D Plus, I really didn't think I'd be all that surprised at how he just keeps on growing, because, uh...that's what babies do right? And breastmilk is the best facilitator of that growth right? I'm still amazed...that MY body is feeding him, and it is all he needs to survive the first two years of life!

I wonder when he will wean himself...not for a long time I hope. But whenever he is ready is fine with me.

Every is 5 months old now and is almost going to start crawling, once he builds up some more arm strength. This shouldn't be long because he's grabbing everything in sight now, swatting things, swatting US (hard!), and pumping his arms up and down throughtout the day. He enjoys being on his tummy on the floor, provided he's got something fun to look at and/or gnaw on (pretty much anything will work...). Every also loves us to support him as he stands up, or sits on our laps.

We are getting pretty adept to using the different slings we have. I have the Baby Bjorn, a Kangaroo Korner Adjustable Fleece Pouch, a Hemp ring sling, and 2 Mei Tais. And I am glad I have every single one of them, although I haven't used the ring sling much for some reason. Maybe as he gets older. Robby has used the Baby Bjorn numerous times and enjoys carrying Every around. =D
