Perhaps I Should Have Limited the Amount of Breast Feeding Connor Saw

Well, Max is officially drinking whole milk now. Not as much as I would like, but it will get better I think. He has been pretty thirsty by the end of the day and tends to gulp down some bath water...yummy!

Well, breast feeding an infant when you have a two year old is impossible to do without the older child witnessing the process from time to time. He just gets into too much trouble if I'm not watching! I'm thinking now though, maybe I should have tried to shelter Connor a little more than I did. Over the weekend we had too different incidences that seem to point that way.

We went to a going away party for our friends the Robinson's this weekend. Another couple there brought their little girl Malory. I looked over and noticed Connor trying to give her a kiss on the cheek, which was really sweet. She's about a year younger than Connor and I was kind of afraid he was going to knock her over, so I went over to break it up. On the way home we were talking about it and Connor said, "Was I not supposed to kiss Malory because she's a baby?" I said, "Well, she's not a baby, but" and he interrupted me and said "Does she eat boob?" After Shawn and I stopped laughing we explained that she didn't to him, but I'm pretty sure "boob" isn't something a two year old should be talking about!

Connor also grabbed one of the bottles I used when I was pumping the other day a told his Mimi, "Mimi, I need to pump." He proceeded to pull up his shirt and put the bottle to hit chest, but then he said "Wait, I don't have boobs." and he put it in his armpit to get milk!
