Our Little Family
Finn and his beloved egg
Kinsley and Finn. All the cousins on that side of the family have a cousin that is their age and Finn and Kinsley are cousin buddies.
On Sunday, we went to church of course and then my parents came over for lunch. We had a yummy brisqet. Of course I had an Easter basket for Finn and my Mom brought one for him too. Excuse how bad the picture is, I had to take it with my phone:
Now on to the best news I've had in a while. I think Finn is weened!!! Finn took a bottle for the first 5 months of his life and just decided one day he wasn't going to anymore. Since then, I have been trying to give him a bottle every single night. I had also been told maybe that's why he wasn't sleeping very good since my milk supply was dwindling. This may sound funny but I have literally been praying and begging God for Finn to take a bottle because I really needed some sleep but also I needed some freedom from him and nursing him. The day after Easter, he took a bottle and has been taking it ever since. I actually teared up the first time and Cade laughed at me. A few days ago I quit nursing him totally and I'm so happy. I feel like this is such a blessing because I could leave him during "meal" time with someone or even Cade and not have to worry. I was also worried he wasn't getting enough nutrients from me. Of course right now I'm feeling the effects of stopping nursing but the good thing is I can take whatever medicine I want- yeah!!!! Also this past week he has been sleeping so much better. Not all night some nights but we are making so much progress. I feel so incredibly relieved that this time in my life of feeling helpless with him is going to pass!! Praise God for Finn's progress!
Have a great week my friends!

Commenting on the "making progress" part of your post: Ooo girl, I feel you! Being a mommy is a lot tougher than I thought it would be! No one really prepares a girl to become a mother. Or, at least, I wasn't. :) Two has completely rocked my world!
