Reading this made me realize just how close our kids are in age as I have been nursing for just over five years as of about three weeks ago. And I hear you on enjoying the holidays. I wrote a short post on Monday too. :) Congrats. Reading this made me realize just how close our kids are in age as I have been nursing for just over five years as of about three weeks ago.

I remember feeling that same way when we reached that milestone in my house. My son had been weaned for all of two months when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. And now they are 6 and 4 and those days of breastfeeding & diapers & having babies seems like such a long time ago. I too miss the closeness of nursing, but know a big part of how close we are now is due to that bond we built while nursing. I hope you enjoy your holiday! This post got me all choked up.

My son had a similar expression in his first big brother/little sister pic. Congrats on hitting a happy milestone!

I hope you had a great day. :) And this is totally off-topic, but my own daughter has the exact same garden shoes. I think we must have all visited the same store back in the spring, I see them everywhere. Breastfeeding and Thanksgiving go very well together – both are sort of feasts in their own right.

I can relate to the baby always feeling like the baby. Even though Q is 8 years old, he still feels so young to me compared to how F felt when he was 8. Five years!!??!! Congratulations on meeting THAT milestone as well. As a mom who breastfed for 9 straight years (F weaned when Q was around 6 months old) I am waiting to reach the milestone where I have parented longer WITHOUT breastfeeding than with. Only 7 years to go! ;) You ROCK mama!!! Congrats on meeting your milestone this weekend! I can relate to the baby always feeling like the baby.

Congrats on 5 years going strong. :) It's off how the "baby" stays the baby. I can't seem my middle one as anything bigger than a baby still. Awwww!

Congratulations on breastfeeding for five years! I can't believe I've made it eight months with Oscar, and I hope to go as long as you did. Wonderful post and great pictures!
