When I think baby, I think of those little people you hold, they coo, they can't do much else. Well, if that is the case, then Lexi isn't a baby anymore! She is now 15 months old, and she has made some decisions- she is no longer taking baths in her little tub- now it's only the big tub; she is not interested in being fed with a spoon, she prefers her hands or her use of the fork or spoon, which is actually messier than using her hands; and she is no longer breastfeeding. I've heard of self weaning, but this was instant, and sad for me. She nursed one morning, then in the afternoon, she acted like she wanted to nurse, and then pushed me away. She's continued to push me away a few more times, so I guess she's made her decision. I did treasure our time together, and I know she loves me so there will be more times with just cuddling in the future, but it's sad to be done.
Lexi has also decided that she does not want to be carried down stairs, see the video above.
Her most recent decision involves throwing herself on the floor and screaming and waving us away if she doesn't want to do something or go somewhere. I know this is all part of growing up, but when it's in the middle of Target, it's a bit tough to take. We'll continue to work on our communication with each other to improve this most recent decision. -Jenni
