It's official: my daughter is now officially All Grown Up. Over a week ago, she stopped nursing, cold turkey. I breastfed her nearly exclusively for the first 6 months of her life, and never expected it all to last as...

I had already been working slowly towards this transition anyway, and it will be very nice to get a full night's rest for the first time in ten months. But I'll miss that little warm body snuggling next to me. And when she wakes up next to me in the morning, she has the goofiest drunken smile I've ever seen. She doesn't wake up happy in the crib. I can't snuggle next to her. I can't smell that intoxicating hair.

This past week we had a breakthrough: Ruthie started taking a bottle without much (if any) fuss.

Yesterday I tried to feed little Ruthie rice cereal for the first time. It was mixed with vast quantities of breast milk, of course, which meant that instead of spitting it outright, Ruu gave me this puzzled little look while...
