nursing as an olympic sport

i don't know that these photos really do it justice, but nursing sullivan has reached a whole new level of difficulty. he is so squirmy and bendy; i almost feel like i am trying to cradle a big, motorized slinky. these photos are from today at the restaurant. the squirmy-ness was exacerbated by my having to use the nursing cover--i think it gets a little hot and stuffy in there.



here, he is trying to escape the cover. notice how his leg is in the crook of my arm. i pinned it there, because if i don't......

it ends up on my shoulder, or kicking up and down between my shoulder and my elbow. he has also grabbed hold of the cover, inadvertently flashing diners innocently eating their salads and clam chowder.

ahh, it looks like i won and he is finally resigned to eating. don't i look kind of smug? wait for it...

sully was just lulling me into submission. i should have seen it coming!
