1 year and 8 months

Damon is loving swimming this year! He is cautious which is comforting for me, but he likes to jump off the pool deck into my arms and I just hope he isn't ever going to jump while someone isn't ready. We got him floaties, but he's not a huge fan of them of course.  I think he is starting to teeth with his 2yr molars. He just seems more needy and tends to slobber more than normal. He's not a big slobbery boy,  so there's a difference. He isn't so good at sleeping in his own bed the whole night. He usually will go at least a 3-4hr stretch and then come into our bed. I've stopped breastfeeding. It's been about 2 weeks. He's doing good. He didn't have a hard transition at all like I was worried about. I think I have had the hardest time just mentally because I love nursing so much. I'm hopeful that the next baby will breastfeed well.  Damon recently discovered that he likes tge apple sauce squeeze pouches. He didn't like them at first, but I think it was with a different flavor. He had his first week in Nursery without me, but it did not go quite as well as I hoped. He didn't notice much at first..so I snuck out. Obviously that didn't last long and I ended up coming back in and staying. I have been subbing in there since then so we have not been able to try again yet. We will see how it goes!
