Slow Down, Please
This kid.
This is the kid is caught in the middle of a battle of wills.
I admit it. I admit that I am Team Stay Right There. I have no interest in having a mobile Mila any time soon. Nor do I want to feed her solids or allow do any of the other things that toddlers do. She can stay an infant for a loooooooong time as far as I'm concerned.
Alexis vehemently disagrees. She is the leader of Team Let's go. She tries daily to convince Mila to walk, roll, etc.
The sad thing (for me) is that Mila does a much better job of listening to Alexis than she does me.
Mila is in a hurry. Despite the fact that I don't ever put her on her belly, she has figured out how to roll to her belly and do little baby push-ups. I give it about ten minutes and she's going to be crawling. When that happens, LOOK OUT. This is the kid that is going to push me to the brink.
And Alexis stands there encouraging it.
Send duct tape, please. And super glue. Somehow I have to keep the little blue-eyed creature from getting around.

I'm past the wanting another kid stage, but your most beautiful imp manages to trigger that dang "Awwww! What if...? Maybe??" switch every time!!
I felt he same way about my youngest girl child as a baby. She broke my heart. Then again she up to be an amazing young woman o takes my breath away and makes me so proud of all she does. Milan, stop listening to big sis. She won't always be right. Love!
I hear you - I savored the times when they just nursed or took a bottle- so many can't wait to give their kids solids & I delayed as long as I could. Aside from the pain in the butt factor of feeding cleaning & more work in general I was always sad knowing it was the first step away from being a baby. Now "hanging up the horns" (aka stopping pumping) that I celebrated!
oh dear mila, please slow down. life is so short...no need to rush!
