Well, my baby is going to be 4yrs old in less than a week. I cannot believe it! He was exclusively breastfed, no bottles, formula, pacis, etc . . . (I did try with the pacis though) He started solids at 6.5months but continued to nurse constantly day and night until 18months when he slept all night for the first time. We coslept full time until 13months and then part time when he woke at night. I had to go dairy and soy free for 9 months due to him being sensitive. He was finally able to eat yogurt and cheese around 15-16months and had cows milk with cereal at 2yrs old. For the past year or so he has only been nursing 1-2 times/day, sometimes more on the weekends. But in the last few months it has been maybe once every other day, very varied. I asked him if he was too old for milkies and he said :three year olds are no too old but four year olds are too old" He keeps telling me that when he is 4, no more milkies. I made DH take a picture of him nursing yesterday so I could remember it (i have a handful from over the years) So now DS is going around telling people that we took a picture of milkies so he can remember it when it older (GOOF!)
I just cannot believe that my baby is going to be 4yrs old. I had all of my kids so close in age (which I dont really recommend) But I felt like knowing that he was probably the last gave me a chance to really enjoy him and take the time to enjoy the stages. I have been back in school since he was 20months old so it has been very very busy but still fun.
I am goign to miss that little baby. Luckily he is a snuggle bug and always wnats to sleep on top of me at 5am when he joins me in my bed.
