Is it just coincidence...

that when Grace wants to nurse she says "moo?" 0_0

Many of my online friends are teaching their baby to say "num nums" or "nummies." Since I believe that babies are much smarter than people give them credit for, I feel that it is a small injustice to dumb nursing down that much. I am trying to teach Grace to say "nurse please," ...it comes out "moooo." I guess she figures that I have earned the nickname "moo mom!" (inside joke thanks to Uncle K! -_^ )

And to some, a toddler that can ask to nurse is bizarre, sick, and wrong. I don't nurse in public anymore, since we only nurse 1-3 times a day now, but I still can't figure out a proper response to this. Children this young cannot remember it and it is the best, most healthy snack a growing body needs! I personally believe it is due to how idolized the female body has become, so some cannot see it for the beautiful thing God created it to be. You know, in the "old days" before refrigeration and formula, most children were nursed until about 3, since that is how long children NEED whole milk nutrition... *getting off soapbox.*

Sorry about that tangent! Now the good part, pictures!

A rare sucker allowance!




After I got home from work the other night


Grace likes to pretend she's playing the game too!


What are you doing Zane?


I better do it too!


And an older one, just cause it's so darn cute!
