AW: first major milestone reached for mom!

DD is 6 months old today!!! SIX months! When did this happen? She's awesome and we're in a really good place - along with her turning 6 months old, I've reached my first major milestone - EBF (well, ok, i've introduce rice cereal and carrots two weeks ago so not COMPLETE EBF ;-) for 6 months. It hasn't always been easy, as you all know, but i'm so damn proud of the little girl and I for sticking with it and getting through the bumps in the road.

I don't know what the next 6 months will bring but, for right now, it's the small victories that count.

    Yay, happy 6 month birthday!

    For us, things got quite a bit easier after the 6 month mark (then again around 9 months, and then again at 1 year when I stopped pumping). I hope that gives you some light at the end of the tunnel!

    Congrats on surviving, Mama! The next 6 months is when the real fun starts. I love the age we're at now, but 7-12 months was such an adorable age that I miss it sometimes.

    Wow--I can't believe it's been 6 months! Congrats on making it through--those first 6 months are definitely rough. And congrats on EBF. You're doing it, mama!

    Congratulations!  I tell you, whoever told me the adage "the days are long but the years are short." was right on the money.  I have no idea where time goes.  I keep on trying to remember to pause and hold it precious.

    Congrats!  And I agree w/Wines about things getting easier at those points.

    Also - FWIW - my original goal was to breastfeed for 12 months - then when I met that I ended up setting a new one of 18 months - and now I have met that and am not sure when I will be done;0  - There have been times along the way when I wanted to quit - be somehow you get through them and then there are the times when you are so glad you are still doing it - all the best to you!

    Kastle, don't be too impressed. I have an amazing DH who helps out a lot, a baby that makes life fairly easy for me, and you ladies that have pulled meout of the hole more times than I can remember. You all lead by example and all the advice of not making major decisions on a bad day has gotten me through some tough corners. I never thought a grooup of people i've never met IRL could have such a great impact on me personally. WnW, I can't wait for the nnext 6 months. She's already started to snuggle in the past two weeks, which I just soak up whenever I get a chance. She's so much fun and changes so fast now that I can't wait to see what new thing she's learned every day.

    Aww, mcatmay, you are doing great! 6 months breastfeeding is awesome! You'll get to a year before you know it.

    And you've never met us IRL, but you could :-) Look out for the next GTG!

    Congrats!  Sorry I'm so late chiming in, but I'm so glad to hear everything is working out so well. I agree with PPs - I really, really loved the 7/8 month age and it just keeps getting better and more fun :)  Everything just started to get so much more rewarding and at the same time it felt like we were getting some semblance of our pre-baby life back.
