Gemma 17 Months

Our sweet Gem is 17 months!

Words: mama, dada, elsie, papa, up, out, no, mine, ya, baby, boob 😂, outside, eat,   cheese, off, shoe, toes, help, ow, poop, butt, dog. And she will try to repeat almost any word of you ask her.


We stopped breastfeeding at 16.5 months.  My milk was mostly gone and I felt she was nursing just for comfort at this point. So when we got back from vacation, I just quit. It was pretty easy actually. She was only asking for it once a day. I only had to tell her no a handful of times. Then a week later she got sick. That was the hardest part. She wanted to nurse for comfort and I felt so awful telling her no. But alas, we are done.


As for eating, she eats mostly what we eat. I keep chicken nuggets and stuff on hand in case I make something I know she doesn't like. She eats a lot of berries and bananas for snacks. I also buy her whole milk yogurt pouches. I give her milk in a straw cup in the morning and evening.

23lbs 31 ish inches. She got weighed and measured this week at the doctor's office. She ended up having the Roseola virus.

I can't believe shes almost one and a half. Where does the time go? My silly, sweet, smart girl.
