Hannah just turned 6 months old on Saturday! I have no idea where the time went. She is growing so quickly, more so than Bo did, and its sad for me. I want her to be a baby forever, to not hit these milestones because that just means she is growing up. In the last couple of weeks, Hannah has hit 3 milestones all at once. One of which has broken my heart.
First milestone:
She is holding her own bottle already! The girl might have gotten one bottle a day, sometimes two and is already holding it on her own. I'm so proud of her. This is probably one milestone I'm okay with as it helps me out a lot =o)
Second milestone:
She is sitting up on her own, for short periods of time, but she can do it. It is so cute to see her focus as she tries not to fall backwards.
The Last milestone she has come across really breaks my heart. It has made me cry because I was not ready for this one. My baby girl weaned her self from nursing. She no longer wants to nurse anymore as she screams and throws a fit everytime I tried to latch her. I really really wanted to nurse her until she was closer to a year old, but at least I hit my short term goal which was 6 months. I'm sure those of you who have nursed know how difficult this is. It is something I wasn't prepared for and still not. Fortunately, I still have some milk stored up that I will be using the week she is home from surgery. I feel she needs the best at that point and I'm happy that I have some stored up for that.
This week is Hannah's 6 month check up with a new doctor. Hopefully all will go well and she likes her new doctor. Until then. . .

Sorry to hear your baby girl is growing up faster than you would like. I know the feeling! But it's good to know that she is growing up and that she is healthy and happy! I never could nurse with Addison so I don't know what you're going through with that. Who is Hannah's new doctor? I hope she likes them & they treat her well.
ReplyDeleteHope~ I can't believe how big she is getting!! I'm sorry she has weaned herself already. I can imagine I'd be pretty sad, too. Hope her appt with the new dr goes well!
ReplyDeleteIt's freaking me out that Toby is going to do the same thing soon...when we're out and about, he could almost care less about nursing...however he still does good at night. *Sigh* They are both growing up too fast...i hate it :0(. I guess i need to schedule Toby's 6 month appoinment!! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteoh girl Im sorry this is such a bittersweet time for you right now. But later on you look back and you get to see those wonderful amazing memories and you will love it. Im sorry your having such a hard time with the nursing and her weaning from it, but at least she has a good self independance about her right?
