Your Love is Like a Rollercoaster

Since I wrote the post about me riding a rollercoaster while pregnant, I figured I’d share some photos from Peanut’s first trip to the amusement park.

Oma and Opa took Peanut to the boats while mommy and daddy went on a ride. Apparently she didn't like it at first.

Just being cute.

Peanut was so happy getting off the swings!

I'm awful at group pictures, but this is us when we're about to go on the boats.

The "eggs" were by far her favorite ride. She went on them twice that day and tells everyone about them.

Obviously, she got a little better about riding rides by herself by the end of the day.

Peanut loved the ferris wheel. She also peed in it. Marking it as her own?

The last ride of the night was the carousel. Peanut had to hold on to her doggy daddy won her while riding the kitty.

We had so much fun that we decided to get season passes and have gone back twice already! Yay amusement parks!

Yeah, yeah, I know I’m not supposed to put words on the Wordless Wednesday post. I’ve been getting a lot of photos for the Cafe’s Wordless Wednesday slideshow (thanks everyone BTW!) and a surprising amount of photos were moms breastfeeding within hours of birth. It made me start to wonder about the first photo I have of Peanut breastfeeding. Well here it is. No, she’s not exactly breastfeeding in the photo. This is when she was passed out “milk drunk” after breastfeeding. Yes, she’s laying her head on top of my boob.

When I took this photo, I thought it was so provocative. I wasn’t even sure if I should send it to my mother because “Oh my that’s the top of my boob in that photo!” It’s amazing how much I’ve changed over the last year and some change. I regret not taking more photos of Peanut breastfeeding when she was younger. I love the photos that we have now, but already those first few months are turning into a blur (I have some memory issues) and it makes tears well in my eyes thinking that I don’t have any photos to remember the early days of breastfeeding. I guess I’ll just have to make up for it with photos of her breastfeeding now.
