This month marks 18 months of breastfeeding! 18 months! A year and a half 😳😳 I never imagined myself breastfeeding this long but now I can't see her weaning herself anytime soon and I'm ok with that, mostly 😂 I have gotten incredibly lucky and I have never had any supply issues but we have had our ups and downs. It was very painful for about the first 5 months because she had a tongue/lip tie. I remember crying often from the pain. After her surgery I had to re teach her how to latch on properly, then her teeth started coming in and as much as it was new to me, it was new to her so we had to learn how to breastfeed with teeth. We struggled with non stop nursing while we were co sleeping and it was hard on both of us so we learned how to sleep in our own beds for most of the night and co sleep in the mornings so we both don't go crazy 😂 I have wanted to give up many times, I have wanted my body back every time friends want to go have a night out but then I think about how I've been her nutrition and her comfort through sickness, growth spurts, sleepless nights, boo boos and so much more that I just hate the thought of making her stop and ending this bonding experience. Breastfeeding is hard and anyone that tells you otherwise is lying to you! It comes with many challenges and struggles but it is all so rewarding! #breastfeeding#18monthsandstillgoingstrong #breastfeedingatoddler
Having a sick toddler means lots of snuggling and sleeping 😍😊
Evelynn was talking in her sleep this morning 😍😂 I I was so mad when I looked at the video and found out my phone didn't record her talking but at least you can still see her lips moving 😂😂
She doesn't feel good but at least she still lets me take pictures 😂😂😂
When you try to ask your toddler a question and they know they're in trouble so they try to hide from you lol
I couldnt be more in love with my new hair!!
My toddler naps now consist of
Evelynn unzipping her pjs and taking her diapers off and If I put her in 2 piece pj’s she still manages to take her pants off and he diaper as well… We’ve had a few incidents that involved poop everywhere. Anyone else?? What did you do to stop this??
I still use pj’s with the buttons in the back so she can’t open it. Other than that, I’m struggling with the exact same thing ! If she isn’t wearing her pj’s, she takes her diaper off !
Yes same here she can't go without clothes because she'll take her diapers off. Someone suggested a onesie but I'm pretty sure Evelynn can get those undone too. Zippered pj's without the feet so you can reverse them was another suggestion. Might be worth a try!

Tomorrow Zeke turns 4. I can’t believe it!!
He’s such a handful and yet he’s an amazing kid. School has helped bring him out of his shell a bit, but he still has a way to go. Due to his close proximity of age to Sterling, I always lump them together. But there’s a big difference in development and where as Sterling started school at age 3, he turned 4 shortly after. Zeke started school shortly after turning 3, and will now be 4.
He has a strong personality (no pun intended!). He knows what he wants, and he’ll do what it takes to get it, be it good or bad lol. He is such a lover, he cuddles like no one’s business. He enjoys talking to anyone who will listen, but doesn’t necessarily listen when you talk to him! He is a big helper…when he wants to be. He’ll help you cook or do something fun, but forget asking him to pick up his toys!! His absolute favorite thing to do is to take baths. He’s a fish.
Time goes by too fast. So, happy (early) birthday to my preemie prince, Ezekiel! ❤❤❤
So you do have your mermaid after all or should I say merman!! Happy Birthday Zeke ❤️🎉
Trying cheesy eggs for the first time 😂😊
The struggle of feeding your toddler breakfast is real
Not only have I never been a breakfast person but my child doesn’t like a lot of things. She doesn’t like eggs, oatmeal, cereal, pancakes, French toast…
So I’ve been trying to figure new things to give her that she’ll eat. I know she loves fruit!
Yesterday I made her yogurt with granola, cut up apples and a bit of peanut butter and she ate it right up 😊
Today I tried making cheesy eggs(hoping she’ll eat the eggs if there’s cheese on them) with cut up hot dogs. She ate all the hot dogs and just a bit of the eggs so I will take it!
Nearly 18 months of breastfeeding and I’m still leaking…. Does this ever stop??? 😳😒😳😒
Nothing better
Than hearing my husband make our daughter laugh 😍😍😍
Daddy is in charge of her bath tonight 😂
