My not-a-baby-anymore, baby!

Zach is now 12 months old! I cannot believe it! We had a fun but not pinterest worthy birthday party with all of our friends and family on his actual birthday! It was terrific!
At 12 months, Zach is:
*walking, almost full time!
*saying mama, dada and uh oh! I also think he says bad (to the dogs) whoops!
*Quite the hambone! He loves being the center of attention and if he isn't he will make sure that changes!
*loves music and dancing!
*thinks everything is hilarious!
*loves all of his birthday gifts, but the riding toys and little swingset are his favorites!

I can't wait to see what the next 12 months bring!

I tried to upload a picture but it is not working! Be back later!

Breastfeeding

I have to talk about this because it is driving me nuts!
Women are the worst enemy of other women!
I am proud to still be breastfeeding my son, is it sometimes tough? Yes. Do I sometimes want to pull the plug on it? Yes. Do I think it is disgusting? NO!
I am seriously taken aback by the disdain for breastfeeding. We all know that the breast is best. We all know that if we were cave people that is what would be happening. Yet other women say it is disgusting. That I am disgusting. Possibly pedophilic because I decided to breastfeed my baby past a year. I don't tell them I think they are disgusting for giving their child hormone filled cow's milk. So why can't they lay off?
I intend to raise a son who sees breasts not only sexually but as a functioning part of the female anatomy. So deal with it.
I don't want you to talk down to me or tell me I'm disgusting. I'm not. I'm doing what I feel is best for my child!
