The picture below is totally cute, but also a little sad.  I have told Ricardo many times that Lucia would either want to nurse until she's 3 or one day just decide she was DONE.  Well, the day has come when she decided she was DONE.  It was so crazy.   She went from nursing 4-6 times a day (including 1-2 night time feedings) to NONE.  On Friday she decided she was done nursing.  I tried to nurse her in the morning and she screamed and cried at me and wiggled out of my arms.  I thought she just must not be in the mood so I tried again in the afternoon and the same thing.  There was absolutely no getting her to nurse.  Today is Tuesday and she shakes her head "no" if I say "quieres leche?" I have been pumping and she goes crazy whenever she sees the bottle and cries until I get it in her mouth, but even after she guzzles whatever's in the bottle, she won't even consider nursing.  

I had been doing this in hopes that this was just a nursing strike and we'd be back to normal soon, but that doesn't seem to be the case so I think she has officially self-weaned.  The upside is that she is sleeping through the night now, but I'd rather wake up twice in the night than have my caboose self-wean at 14 months!  

So this evening I asked Diego if he wanted to give her the bottle (a whopping 2.5 ounces) and he was sooo excited.  As he was feeding her he said "Ah, I love this!"
