I just *love* that you're still nursing AND to see you're doing baby led weaning!! She is so beautiful and you are such a wonderful mama. :) Great job!

Aw, thank you for saying so. We didn't exactly do baby-led weaning, though, as we started with purees (and isn't BLW where you never offer purees?). She's always been given a finger food option, though, if that counts. :)

[vitainpalus]

Eh, it's close enough. That she's 11 months and has finger food is good enough for me. ;) Isabel had some purees like applesauce and yogurt!

She is such a mini-Rob but in a girly, feminine way (believe me, not an insult to Rob OR sweet Georgia!). Georgia is so adorable. I LOVE that little necklace you have for her!

And...

I can't stop you from growing up, but I will always be your Mommy. I will always hold you tight.

Must you make me tear up every time I read one of your monthly letters? *grin*

S'okay. I cried too, and I wrote it.

That necklace is a Baltic amber teething necklace. It isn't meant to be chewed, or anything; it's meant to be worn. When the amber warms with her skin, it's supposed to release an analgesic. Whether or not it works, at least it looks cute, but friends who have them for their kids rave about them. Why not, right? :)

Oh my gosh, I just love these letters. She'll treasure them so much someday. It's really moving to read.

Thank you for saying that! I plan to turn them into a little book for her. :)

She is so cute! (and so blond!)

Thank you. I KNOW! I wonder if it will stay that color or will darken like her parents' hair.
