Breastfeeding Milestone

Well its not a major one but every month is still a milestone to me, especially after Kieran's issues at first!
5 Months! She's been nursing for 5mo now, and get this, no solids yet! I'm so proud to have not caved in! With Seamus we started him just before 4mo but his reflux was really bad and I wanted to try everything to try to help him. Kieran is perfectly content on just the boob milk for now. We will probably be starting solids after shes 6months old. I'm so proud of my little girl...now only if we can get rid of the nipple shield!

Gotta run, shes hungry now!

About the Family

The Hubby

Hubby loves the outdoors and anything photography. He's also a bit of a computer geek.(lol) He spent most of his life in Texas then finished highschool school up here in Idaho and we met 2 years after he graduated. He loves it up here, loves the scenery, gives perfect photo op's.

The Son

Seamus is my oldest, born July 2006 after an up and down pregnancy. He is a goof ball, loves to make people laugh, build things, and LOVES cars (especially tires and engines). Seamus hasn't had an easy 5½years of life, he's had developmental delays since he was a newborn. He has Aspergers and Sensory Processing Disorder. He is curently in Kindergarten and doing fairly well in learning (not so great in behaviors), Occupational Therapy and IBI/Intensive Behavioral Intervention he'll also be doing IBI over the summer in a 'summer school' like program to help with the transition between grades. Recently we signed him up for soccer and he will be starting that in mid April, we're all super excited for our first sport adventure as a family.

The Daughter

Kieran is my youngest, born April 2009. She is a goofball and a princess. She loves the color pink and dresses and asks to be called princess, she loves making silly faces and taking funny pictures. Kieran is a lefty so its a new learning experience for hubby and I to teach her to write and such (which she's doing amazingly well at, already having O's down and pre-stick figures down which are O's with arms and legs), Kieran is the first lefty since my Grammie so we've been trying to get tips from her, haha.
