So this is lame to post about but today is my last day nursing my baby boy. After this I consider him a big boy. After weeks of cutting down to this moment-I will be done nursing tonight and tomorrow we start cold turkey! Over the last 2 weeks Hyrum has had to go down for a nap without nursing or a bottle and we are finally to the point where he doesn't scream for an hour every time I lay him down. So, I'm off to work tomorrow night and Ben gets to see how the first night of no bottle/nursing goes! Hyrum is now drinking whole milk, eating half a sandwhich for lunch, and eating about as much of dinner as I do. He must be his father's child. Although it is sad to realize in one week one day my baby will be 1 and his baby days are over and toddler days are here, I decided I love him enough to not have him be a 3 year old nursing-I guess I can sacrifice my bond to not have a weird child and get weird looks in the nursing room at church for breastfeeding a 3 year old. Enough said.
I am however really looking forward to the FREEDOM! To celebrate, Ben and I are taking a late Valentine's trip to SLC (wahoo i know) to see a JAZZ game. Ben is super excited. We are getting a hotel for the night (grandma gets Hyrum)-going to eat Chipotle which we have been missing, sleeping in, and probably going to hit a session at the SLC temple where we were married. The game is March 6th and we are on the countdown! I could get used to this!
Hyrum is quite the helper when it comes to laundry. He has to be everywhere I am so naturally I cannot do the laundry in peace. I have put him to good use though. He likes to stand in front of the open drier as I put clothes in or take clothes out. He likes to help take the wet ones out too. I thought these pictures were funny though because he has never climbed in the basket to accompish this task before. Warning-laundry is in the pictures!
We went to the Jazz game last Friday night and it was a blast! The first half was shaky as the Jazz were down by 19 at one point. We had a huge comeback in the second half though! We got a free t-shirt at the game. They were parashooting t-shirts down from the rafters and one managed to float over to us. We weren't even trying too hard to grab it. I'm amazed no one around us grabbed it first! We had interesting company at the game. We had the two already drunk twenty somethings sitting next to Ben offering him a shot at every basket made! Then, on my side I had the old couple that was way too big for their seats that had who knows what all over them (stinky). We did have awesome seats though and we loved it! We went to the SLC temple the next day which was a huge session. Every other time we've gone it has been us and maybe one other couple! The room was packed and it was great! Well, Hyrum is awake so off I go!
