parenting update

so, motherhood hasn't been so bad lately. now that baby is getting a little older, things are much easier right now. i'm sure once she starts wanting to be more independent, she'll be more difficult to deal with. she's been walking for about a month and getting better at it every day. people say that once your kid starts walking, watch out... i've found that life is so much easier now that she can walk. her sleeping at night is much better too. i think the last hurdle we need to get over is the weaning off the breast. i never in a million years thought i'd breastfeed past 9 months, yet here i am at 12 1/2 months still breastfeeding with no end in sight. i laugh in disgust when i hear of moms that still breastfeed at 2 years old... i can only hope that i won't be one of them. the problem is that baby doesn't drink cows milk and she's been trained to fall asleep via nursing. she's perfected that skill and i don't want to screw things up, but at the same time, i'd like to stop nursing soon. all these paths of least resistance are great at the time, but when you want to do something the right way, you're just making things harder for yourself in the long run.

was going to list all the stuff baby got for her birthday, but there's just way too much stuff. instead, i'm going to list my latest purchases for baby over the last couple weeks.
