My Growing Family

Changes Changes...everything is always changing. Sometimes we welcome the changes because they feel so good. Other times we cringe as these dark changes come into our lives and we are never the same.

I HATE food!!!!

Generally, first thing in the morning, and about two more times throughout the day, I try to feed my daughter food. Not booby, real solid food. And first thing in the morning, AND about two more times throughout the day, Shelbi does everything in her little power to NOT eat the food. She will squirm, she will wiggle, scream, cry, blow, spit and hit things in order to keep the food from passing her lips. Why is this? Why won't she just eat the food? Is she not hungry? Is she EVER hungry? This is a mystery to me.
But booby, OH the booby. It doesn't matter what time of day or night, if I offer the booby, she is on it like white on rice. I don't get it. My daughter is 10 months old, and even though it is reccommended that I breastfeed for at least one year, the tiny blisters on my nipples say otherwise. It's time to cut back. So I gave her a formula bottle the other day. I about died from guilt, but after about 10 minutes, she gave in and took it, all the while looking into my eyes as if to say..."The booby is right there! Why won't you give me the booby? You're giving up too soon! You will live to regret this, mommy." Oh, yeah. And "I hate food!"
