3 1/2 Month Break

Carter is officially weaned. The last time I nursed him was Sunday evening. I now get a whole 3 1/2 months off from nursing before the next baby arrives. I really can't believe it took this long to get Carter weaned - he's 16 months old!!! But only this weekend did he start drinking whole milk with no water in it (and drink it willing at all meals).

We had much nicer weather here today than yesterday - we had snow flurries all morning and early afternoon yesterday. Winter just does not want to end! Today got up to around 60F so Carter and I went to the park at West Hills for about an hour this afternoon. The first half hour involved playing with sticks. Carter's favorite was one that was at least twice his height. I eventually convinced him he wanted to play on the playground. He loved all the pea gravel that is used in the play area. He found a buddy about the same age that also liked playing with the rocks and they sat together moving rocks around.

I finally finished painting Carter's new room today. I'll try to remember to take some pictures and post them tomorrow. I still need to decorate the room and find bedding, but I may try to get Carter's toys and clothes moved tomorrow so we can try to have him start sleeping in there this week!
