It's surreal....ramble!
I cannot believe that tomorrow my baby is turning one. It is so bittersweet. While I am so happy he is growing and thriving and hitting all of these milestones, I am sad that it is all going to fast, etc. I love him more and more everyday (if that's possible) but I didn't know that I would be taking this so hard. I am so emotional about it all. I didn't want to put him in his crib after rocking him because I know that tomorrow he will be a 1 year old. Am I crazy?
On another note, my H and I took off tomorrow to spend the day with him. We are probably going to the aquarium and then going to lunch. Are there any suggestions of someplace that he will find "fun" for lunch? He likes action! Just trying to be creative and I didn't know if there was somewhere I wasn't thinking of.
Finally, I just have to post how proud I am of myself for making it one year EBF. It was a struggle to even BF since he was a terrible latch and I used a nipple shield exclusively for 4 months. Then one day he gave up the sheild and never looked back. I went back to work after 5 months and he nursed like a pro until he was 10 months old and then weaned (6 teeth later!) and I have been exclusively pumping the last two months. I guess the point of my story is that if you are determined to do something for a year it can be done so if you are having troubles with BF and need some encouragement or advice I would like to think I can help!

Time truly does speed by when you watch your children grow. It is so easy to want to keep them little forever. It's normal to feel bittersweet about the turn of one stage into another. I feel like I do that every other day, now. Embrace every little moment, and know that tomorrow will be even sweeter. Happy Birthday to your precious boy! I hope you have a wonderful day out with him.
Kudos to you for hanging in there with the BFing. That is a big achievement! Treat yourself to something nice. You deserve it.
Time really does go by so fast! Soon he'll be running around, talking back, hehe:)
I can't really think of any places to eat that might be fun. Are you trying to stay down by the aquarium or in a certain part of town?
Congratulations for making it to a year! That's truly wonderful:)
