Weaning has begun. Over the past week Lily and I have been transitioning slowly, but now there is a definite goal in view. It has been good to be able to breast feed for this long, 8 and 1/2 months, but the time has come. When the benefits do not outweigh the frustration, it is better to stop.
Lily has not really ever taken a bottle, so that will be the tough part for her. If she doesn't do well with that, maybe she will learn to pace herself with the sippy cup. If anyone has any weaning suggestions, I'm all ears.
There are some new photos in the right sidebar I added today. The pictures are from Grandma Jane and Grandaddy Dennis' visit came on Labor Day weekend and when some Virginia friends, Ray and Teresa Capuria, came down just after they left. We all had a great time together.

Yay! Good for you for nursing for 8 1/2 months!!!! :0)
Just curious what the frustrations were that you've been having. As far as weaning goes....it's best to go slowly and gradually. You can look on askdrsears.com for some great info on weaning. Also on the la leche league website.
Yay for breastfeeding!!!!! Good job, Megghan!
