I hadn't tried any other times of the day, because we were down to once a day already. So yeah, we're now on sippy cups with milk in them. I still get to hold him a bit while he drinks. He mostly refuses to hold the cup (it's bottle-like) himself, even though he knows how. I miss it a bit, yet I don't. I miss the closeness, but it was getting to be more of a chore than anything else. He stopped nursing on one side, and then eventually I just couldn’t get him to latch on in the mornings.

Just like that? I'm going to have to pry this one off me. He DID?! Just like that? I’m going to have to pry this one off me.

And right now he's settling into being VERY opinionated. He must examine EVERYTHING before it goes into his mouth. I'm hoping he'll go back to trying more foods again. And I'm also hoping he'll still snuggle once in a while. *sigh* He was adventurous for a while. And right now he’s settling into being VERY opinionated.

My first two had to be blasted off the breast at 15 months...the last one weaned himself at 10 months. My husband had to finally point out "Jen, he is clearly not interested anymore, he's looking around the room more than he's nursing." This last child has turned out to be our very best eater, extremely adventurous with food, so maybe there's a correlation between early weaners and excellent eaters. That would be a silver lining for you, perhaps. It is indeed a bittersweet moment. My first two had to be blasted off the breast at 15 months…the last one weaned himself at 10 months.
