A week ago we said goodbye to our pacifier friends. Georgia has never been especially attached to them but they have been treasured by Madelyn. We ditched the pacifiers for a couple of reasons. It all started with a conversation I had with the pediatrician about swaddling. Babies move and explore their bodies a lot at night so after about 6 months swaddling is no longer recommended. Well.... the swaddling blanket is what usually catches Maddy's pacifier when it falls out in the middle of the night. Without it she loses it every 20-30 minutes and can't find it and cries. Not good for anyone. So last Friday we decided to ditch both swaddling and pacifiers. :/ While it has been a challenging week I figure it is easier now than it will be in a couple of years. Outings are a little less fun as we can't just give Maddy her pacifier when she gets bored. All in all I think we are surviving. :)
At one time I counted 15 pacifiers all strategically located around the house.
Madelyn has found a replacement in her little duck lovey.
We tried sweet potatoes this week. Georgia loved them and actually yelled at me when I would take too long feeding Madelyn in between her bites. I also think the orange compliments their bibs quite nicely. Next up: pears
Their bibs get so messy because they are so good at wiping their own faces in between bites.
Don't we clean up nicely?
Georgia
