Bittersweet Day...


It's a bittersweet day in the Nelson household. Tonight the beloved "baba" is being given to the "baba fairy!" Yes,  you heard right,  my 2 1/2 year is now going to be baba-less!

This bottle has been with us the whole way. Part of me, a HUGE part, has held onto this bottle as a way of thinking that my baby is still a baby. I'm trying to convince myself that this 2 year old crazy, fun, kiddo is still a little one I rock to sleep and hold all day long. Really, each stage is new and fun, but I really miss my baby!

About the baba being with us through thick and thin...
First time hodling his own baba!! 
When we lived in L.A, getting pretty good and the feeding himself thing!
His 1st birthday....can you guess what he was reaching for??
If you said Baba you were right! Who wants cake anyway??
Notice the breakfast plate still full by the t.v., he was sick so Mama got him all set up!
Not the best picture or best time in our life, but baba's galore at the hospital! The nurses learned to bring one in everytime he got his I.V. adjusted.

What goes better a nice zoo bus ride with the cousins...right, a baba!
So as you see this thing has been a life saver and absolute comfort for Bos! He even named his blankie "bobo" for ease in demanding both..."bobo and baba mom!"

Baba you will be greatly missed, maybe even more so by Mom!
