Nursing

Cordelia loves to nurse.  Her milkies are so dear and precious to her.  When she is nursing, she is happy, relaxed, and comforted.  Often Cordelia nurses to sleep for a nap, and always to go down for the night.  We always nurse on my nursing pillow at the couch or in the bedroom.  When she sees the pillow she gets excited.... or impatient if we don't get to the good stuff fast enough.  Sometimes (often) her little arm is flailing about in the air, or squeezing my throat, grabbing my hair, pulling my lip or putting her little fingers in my mouth.  Everyday, I look down at her at my breast, she sweet little eye lashes, her nose lightly snuffling as she breathes, sometimes she gives a little sigh.  Totally blissed out.  Somedays, I dont really look too long, just long enough to make sure she's on good.  The I pass the time (Cordelia likes to nurse for like at least 40 mins) with tv or my computer.  But I should take a little more time.  My baby will only be a baby for a little while longer.  In 4 month, she will be a year old.  It's going fast, especially with how much growth is happening.  Crawling and pulling up are a thing of ease now.  She's even trying to cruise from moving box to moving box. She babbles a lot, for a while saying mamamamama and something that sounds like 'e-llo.  I think she might be starting to understand the word Dada, as she looks for him to be in the kitchen when I hold her up on the couch.  Also, kitty.  This girl loves her some kitties.

Still, I won't be weaning Cordelia any time soon.  I'm fine nursing a toddler, if that's what she wants.  She'll let me know when she's ready.  We'll see if I'm ready then too. :O
